CedB Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Ah, the Fly Whitley. on Flickr I've been waiting to build that until people have forgotten that Airfix have brought out a new tool that is, no doubt, much better. It looks like a nice kit though; resin, PE, nice canopy molding and I even have a set of masks that I bought before the cutter arrived. One of the first things I did was to get rid of the end-opening box. Wow. That stands for 'Why oh Why!" Of course I remembered to keep the back as that has the schemes on it. Shots of the parts trees: Not phased by those separate props, honest. I have a tool for that. Obviously. Oooh, three part wings eh? Interesting (in a kind of Chinese curse way…) Nice canopy frame: But wait, what are all those (gulp) thin little window things on the left? We shall see. You know I like to maintain an air of mystery (or do I?) Resin, PE and AM masks: Lots of resin. What's in there? Lots of nice interior details, just right for the ceiling! Note that two of the guns have already broken off. Do you think I might lose them? 🤞 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 A Ced build and I'm in on page 1! Looks like an interesting alternative to the new tool Airfix. This should be good. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 In any case, Ced, the Airfix Whitley is a MkV, with Merlins, whereas yours has Tiger radials, so this merely looks like keen interest in the earlier marks of the type. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I have the MkII in the stash so will watch this with interest. I built a II when I was off sick after I had been diagnosed with high Blood pressure about 25 years ago. Used the old Frog kit and the DB conversion set. Not sure it did anything for my BP though. Lost the model about five years ago when the fuselage split in a non repairable fashion. Still have the engines though for a Shark Edited August 5, 2019 by Mr T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevejj Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'm going to follow this as my great uncle worked on the "bloody things" (his words)just outside Coventry. He was in the prototype section and did tell me of plans for a 4 engine Whitley but I can find no evidence of it. He retired In 1947 died in 1969 so it could have been a tall tale for an 14 year old lol. If anyone knows of it I would be grateful of any info. All the best Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
