1/32 Westland Whirlwind with exposed engines, guns and everything else.

Sooo, painting a few gun camera’s. Once two of them Re done, i’ll pick the best one and use that. Also printed a few new access hatches that are amazingly thin and nicer than the first.

3D printed ailerons. Made the aileron trim tabs. Engraved the ailerons. Ready for installation.

Printed even more Nortons after a lot of adjustments.

The whirlwind is almost ready for paint!

This is all phenomenal - the Norton is the icing on the cake to a tour-de-force build.

 

Kind regards,

What a fantastic looking build of this Whirlwind. You've done an exceptional job with the details.

Trying to keep this build up to speed.

finally happy with the Norton. So prepping those for paint, but i need to check it thoroughly for parts of printing supports.

Then: reprinted the slats and radiator slats since the new printer prints them smoother.

Also 3d drew and printed the radio access hatch. This 3d printing makes it all a breeze! And it feels like cheating.

The bike looks really nice.

and as far as 'cheating' is concerned - all is fair in love, war and model building....

[jeroenpeters]

Reprinted the slats in different resin. This one gives more detail and is slightly more flexible. Painting stage is not far off.

This build is ridiculously beautiful!  Your skills are sensational.....loving this thread!

The first paint is on. This took me the better part of an hour. This is because i dilute the paint very much and need many passes for good coverage.
