This is great, I am new to this site but not to modeling.About 45 years ago I saw a scratch built Whirlwind, not only was it one of the first 1/32 scale "models" I saw , but was unaware of the Whirlwind's existance, which led me to more interest in the whole Genera of WW II and modeling. I have been waiting ever since for a kit of this a/c. Hopefully it will be soon along with the "extras" like the resin pieces and whatever else SH decides to do. !!!

Mind you, I expected an injection molded kit to come out within a month when I completed it...... been awhile! We'll see how long it takes for a new injection molded P-51B to appear after I finish the P-51B conversion. Cheers and stay safe!

Rick Griewski Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 I just saw a pre-order of this kit for $94 + post at Kitlinx. Release date 3/21. I know it is a bigger model, twin engine and all but this seems high to me. I will wait for a bit.
Neo Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/SH32047?result-token=XRClM has it cheaper at about 72.87usd

Add post to get the thing to the USA and I cypher it will be about the same. I will wait until my LHS brings the kit in. They award a 10% discount to IMPS members.
