Thanks all for the great comments!

Needed a fun build. No aftermarket, no research, no mods, etc. This is the 1/32 Special Hobby Westland Whirlwind. The only things I added was spare seat belts, antenna wiring & clear acetate for the gunsight. So, almost OOB. Painted with Xtracolor enamels, minor weathering & some paint chipping. Kit decals used, only painted the fuselage band. The kit built up very well with no issues. The landing gear is a little tricky to assemble. Hope you like & all comments welcome. Larry

Very well done. The finish is exceptional. Thanks for posting.

Very well done. One of the best Corsair's done yet.

Nice build! I like the weathered NMF.

Very well done. Quite a unusual color.

Well done! Nice clean build.

Very well done!

Nice build! Different subject, not seen very often. Thanks for posting.

Thanks all for the comments. spook, I used MRP-356 Gris-Bleu Clair & MRP-357 Gris-Bleu Fonce.

Just finished my Kitty Hawk Mirage 2000 C. Added Quinta Studios cockpit detail set, Resikit exhaust, as my kit one was too small & a Black Box MB 10 ejection seat which I modified. Added wiring, details etc to the cockpit & landing gear, added grab handles & mirror to canopy. Closed all of the opened panels, doors, retracted the slats. Painted with MRP paints & added minor weathering. Used FCM decals & finished as a Brazilian bird. Discovered after I painted, that the Brazilian aircraft didn't have the wing root flare dispensers, but will have to go as is. I know very little about jets. Good points about the kit; great surface detail, fit is very good for the most part. Overall a decent build. Bad points, Kitty Hawk has too many doors, panels posed opened & the fit is poor if closed. Decals are too thick & didn't respond to solutions. Instructions are vague or wrong concerning optional pieces. Thanks for looking & all comments welcome. Larry

Outstanding! One of the best TA-152's I have seen. Thanks for posting.

Excellent build! The detail work you added is very well done.

Stunning build! So the French painted all of the attachment fittings blue? Or was this specific to this aircraft? Thanks for posting.

Very well done. I really like the finish & rib shading.

Very nice! The chair & parachute are nice additions. Pilot looks great! Wish I could paint figures near as good as that.
