Neo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Looking back at the fist test assembly, that wing span looks soooo long wonder if it will fit my display case I will most likely get one of these at some point Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastterry Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Had a slow day yesterday, weather was c**p so did a little research. Just to give folks an idea of comparison the Whirlwind has the same span as a de Havilland DH.9A, a Supermarine Walrus and a de Havilland Hornet. The ninak is a Wingnuts kit (if you have one) whilst the Walrus and Hornet are in 1/48 (Airfix & Classic Airframes). Smaller than a P-38 but still a substantial size to fit in the cabinet.

The seat I can replace. I am really looking forward to realistic and accurate flaps. Those would be a PITA to rework. Anyone count the exhaust stubs? Doe the model have the correct number of cylinders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) thanks for posting - duly saved! by the way, will the kit have bomb racks? i see more than half the hundred or so Whirlwinds ever built were converted to fighter bombers, and there are some quite interesting marking schemes for these machines. anything that opens possibilities up should be good for sales i think.

Bradleygolding Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I haven't seen those Operation Starkey photos before, they clearly show evidence of the over painting of the upper wing roundel. Steve nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
