Stressy Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Some pics of my 1/72 Whirlwind. Its the original, poly bag, Bliek kit in rather hard and brittle plastic. I gave it a cockpit using an Airwaves etch tub and instrument panel and scratch built everything else under the canopy, some wingtip and landing lights from clear sprue and scribed panel lines ( need to improve my skills in that respect). Anyway thanks for looking. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Nice work. Looks like you put a lot of work into it. It would be good to see it at a lower view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Congratulations to a very brave man! Considering what you started with, you've done a great job, and your re-scribing skills are not bad at all. Keep having fun. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Very nice model, and as JR said your re-scribing isn't bad at all--much better than mine! I would enjoy seeing some more photographs, especially of the work you put into the cockpit. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 That is a very nice model, and for sure, a type rarely seen done. 👏 I think they were very cool looking aircraft and would like one in my collection too. Is there a good kit in 1/48? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Available in 1/48 from Trumpeter and Classic Airframes , CA kit is the most better model if you can find one . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stromness Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 A very neat build! The 1970‘s issue of the Whirlwind is still a great base for a lovely model. Credits for taking on the task, it‘s quite a worthy undertaking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
