Steve Eagle Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I'm so ready for this to show up. I know not many were produced, but it is a neat looking aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 18 hours ago, scvrobeson said: I think those were Mk.2s, while the Whirlwind used Mk.1s. Might be some slight differences between them, at least on length. Matt I will not show the cannon bay open so only the spring recoil type on the front end will matter to me. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewerjerry Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hi I see the photos on the hannants website of the sprues show both sizes of bombs are provided And the way the canopy is molded gives me the impression that the prototype screen is easy to do, in the future Cheers Jerry adameliclem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modifying the exhausts, cowls, empennage and other things unique to the prototypes will take additional work but I’m okay with doing that. cheers Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Look great! I’ll only build one, so it’s a tough call whether to get this first release or wait for the hi-tech release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npb748r Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 looks really good, looking forward to getting this on the bench. My biggest issue is what colour scheme to do. Earth and green, no wait, grey and green, no wait, earth and green, no grey and green........and so on. Grey and green I think has the edge, but maybe earth and green...oh b$@&*+ ! scvrobeson, monthebiff and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
