JohnB Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I'm calling this one done. Certainly not a "shake-n-bake" kit as it has a number of difficult areas, especially the landing gear. At any rate, it's finally done and ready for inspection. No after market stuff on this one so it's a OOB build. Painted with Colourcoats, Xtracolor and Testor's with a over spray of Alclad semi-gloss clear. I hope y'all like it! By the way, here's a book on the Whirlwind in squadron service that may interest some of you. As always guys, click on the 1st photo for best resolution and to view as a slide show. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 John WOW, absolutely a stellar build - just beautifully done. 🏆🏆🏆 You conquered all the areas that killed my build and wound up being binned. I must have missed it but how did you repair the canopy? Did SH replace it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I haven't heard back from SH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing really John just that most companies in 1/32 have a heavy representation on my Tempest that had maybe 50/70% present.While I hate doing stencils for the most part when they are there make it look busy just abit of a PIA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
