dolphin38 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) My latest completion a long time in the making spent about 12 months on the shelf of doom just didn't have the mojo to finish it. Italeri H-19 with the Rotorcraft Whirlwind HAR9 conversion and a few scratch aerials specific to the HAR9 operated on the Endurance.

Rabbit Leader Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Have dream’t of having a lovely pair of Whitlwinds like that for ages now. They are both very nice and deserve to be celebrated. Cheers and well modelled.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 There's something reassuring about the homely, workhorse lines of the Sikorsky H-19… er, Westland Whirlwind. Here, I'm reminded of two dependable housemaids, all dolled up for the Saturday outing. It is a compliment! Your models look great, perfectly capturing the character that appealed to me as a boy, gluing together the old Revell 1:48th kit. Well done! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 You seldom see any of the Italeri new-tool 1/72 early helos built, and they are all pretty nice kits- you have done a great job with these two! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 A beautiful duo of Whirlwinds. Both have great colour schemes (two of my favourites on British helicopters). The Whirlwind seems to be a seriously under-kitted aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 A pair of superb Whirlwinds. I love the contrast of the orange on the HAR1 vs the dayglo red on the HAR9. They both look spot on colour-wise and are finished beautifully. Lovely job! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 A terrific pair of Whirlwinds - alongside the Wessex may favorite types. The colour schemes look just right and the hard work paid off. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
