Cheers Dennis And you'll love the Cr.42! I just received mine last week, and it's beautiful. Right on part with their Gladiator. Really excited to see what else they surprise us with this year! Between ICM and SH, we sure are a spoiled rotten bunch right now. - Dennis S.

Matt Still waiting patiently for the Helldiver kit before that one! Although my wallet will get absolutely picked clean when the Vampires turn up, been waiting for a lot of years for said aircraft in 1/32 scale. ...........Still excited about the Whirlwind kit though! williamj, firefly7, scvrobeson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
