Steve Eagle Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Really looking forward to one of these. Can only imagine what it would have been like if Merlins could have been fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossington 1 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 A Whirlwind with Merlins? Became the Welkin! I also have a vac-form 1/32 Sea Fury in the stash. Forgotten who it's by, but bought it at the Nationals. Stoneleigh perhaps. Their next release was going to be a Vampire T.II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trak-Tor Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 aeroscale.kitmaker.net - Whirlwind Nacelle Mould Quote ”We are working on another mould for the 1/32 Whirlwind kit. Photos were taken on Friday. The first two shots show the mould before splitting. The next two images show the mould after editing. Therefore, the contact surfaces are all blue. Soon, at the latest at the Nuremberg Fair, we will show more plastic sprues for the Whirlwind kit.” SH Slowly they are getting there...

Dpgsbody55 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Nice. One I could buy. I'm presently building their Yak 3, and it's nice to see they've corrected one annoying issue with that kit; namely that the parts aren't numbered on the sprue. This kit has numbered parts, so a to you, Special Hobby. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiran01 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I like what I see but I also am as familiar with the plane as I am with Sanskrit. What would the rectangular cutout be on the trailing edge of the upper wing near the fuselage? Backside of the radiators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cut out is for the variable flap that regulates exit airflow for the radiators. Edited May 13, 2020 by ironman1945 LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the most well-known type, of course, and it has been dismissed by many as a bit of a dud, because the engines (RR Peregrines) were a constant source of trouble, and only two squadrons flew the type. But it had the biggest punch of any British fighter of its time (4 x 20mm iirc) and when the engines weren't playing up it had a reasonable performance. Pilots liked it, apparently, and many were posted from one squadron to the other, so they built up a wealth of experience. I'm looking forward to this one.
