1/32 Westland Whirlwind

There’s a reason why the canons stick against the instrument panel. Look at the bottom cover with the two round covers on it. Removable for access to the cannon breech blocks.

Thnx Gunnar,

in the meantime i’ve moved on to the wingtip lights. Drilled a hole on the inside and filled it woth Alclad transparent red. Added a shim to make sure the light is not flush with the leading edge. This is because it was flush with the closed slat. Since i have my slats extruded, the light should protrude.

So i spent an afternoon searching the net for Leonard H Bartlett’s plane but couldn’t make sense of it. Serial number P7111, but i saw this plane was either 137th squadron’s SF-E or belonged to 263 squadron. Asked Gunnar and both are correct. Just found this profile in a book i have explaining it. So. This will be the plane I’m making. Bartlett’s plane, along with his signed photograph.
