Popular Post Heather Kay Posted December 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2019 Armstrong Whitworth Whitley MkV – N1428 GE•B, No 58 Squadron, Linton-on-Ouse, Yorkshire, April 1940. Currently the largest model in my display cabinet, I was very happy when Airfix announced a new tool of this Bomber Command stalwart of the early World War Two period. The kit went together fairly well, aside from issues fitting the nacelles. The aftermarket decals also had slight misregistration, which I may pluck up the courage to correct in time. The diorama base was cooked up over Christmas 2019, and the vehicles come from Airfix and Flightpath.

Mohawk Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I like your Whitley very much,unfortunately its too complicated a kit for the likes of me. mohawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kay Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Thanks everyone! I should point out this model was one of the first I built when I decided to get back into this hobby seriously. I completed it in 2016, long before I joined Britmodeller. The WIP was originally posted on the Airfix forum at the time. Since then, my 1940 obsession has taken me places I never thought I would go, with aircraft from France, Belgium and Holland all appearing in my interest field. When I get some decent display space, the Whitley can be joined by the Wellington and Stirling, both currently waiting their turn in the stash. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Joyce Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Great job on the build and especially on the display. I have an Airfix Whitley in my stash, and it is quite large for a two-engine aircraft. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
