Westland Whirlwind HAR9, Endurance Flight 1/72


Recommended Posts

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.

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,

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.

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!
