Whirlwind done

[JohnB]

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.

Not a problem as far as I'm concerned. What were you looking for in the way of stencils?

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?

Thanks Peter. The canopy is still messed up, it just doesn't show up well in the photos. So far I haven't heard back from SH.

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.
