Hi

    I wonder if this will take longer to emerge than the hk lanc did 😩

     cheers

Same team as doing their Beaufort? That’s been on the cards for years. What?  7 plus?  Still at least we see snippets of progress from them on the Whirlwind

I'd rather they take a long time and get it right than rush it out and end up looking like the Trumpeter monstrosity.

I asked them on Facebook a few weeks ago if there has been any progress on the Whirlwind, and although I got a pretty prompt reply, it was 'no progress' 😒

I thought the moulds were almost done?    I

Hi

     Me too....

       hopefully it gets released and not shelved

       Cheers

It took them ages to get the Tempests out, and I think it fair to say they've been successful, better they take their time and get it right.

Hi

    Go careful with some of the info in the book

     speaking  'pc'

     it is not ' always correct ' 

 

so best to double check it elsewhere

 

    cheers

best news for awhile.....glad it's moving again

I've got my Whirlwind on back order with Hannants. So it's guaranteed to hit the shelves at any point when my bank account is at it's lowest. That's my theory anyway.

PS: Excited about this too. Great to see some further progress.

Is there any update on the Whirlwind yet @petr@SpecialHobby, I could see it on the September releases info on another thread.  Please can you offer a glimmer of hope of imminent release ???

All the best

Leafing through the latest SAMI there's a comment (p.61); 'we are hoping that we may also have some more news on the 1/32 scale Westland Whirlwind fighter at E-Day!' 

 

Hope springs eternal...

Nice to see the 'Crikey' being done in a larger scale.

Wonder if the kit will appear at Telford 2019.

Any speculation about what Airfix's next biggie will be in 1/24th scale to follow the Hellcat?

P38 Lightning, Mitsubishi Zero, Republic Thunderbolt or the rumoured Gloster Gladiator?
