aircare84 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Needed a fun build. No aftermarket, no research, no mods, etc. This is the 1/32 Special Hobby Westland Whirlwind. The only things I added was spare seat belts, antenna wiring & clear acetate for the gunsight. So, almost OOB. Painted with Xtracolor enamels, minor weathering & some paint chipping. Kit decals used, only painted the fuselage band. The kit built up very well with no issues. The landing gear is a little tricky to assemble. Hope you like & all comments welcome.

denders Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Looks Great! Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to build mine when the F-105G is done. aircare84 and MARU5137 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 That looks great, it's good news that it is a straightforward build as well, but now this thread has turned me to favour the Dark Earth and Dark Green paintwork for mine.

jaleonard3 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Very nicely done. This aircraft is a favorite of mine and I guess it's time I built this kit too. MARU5137 and aircare84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Very nice indeed, I'm in about eight minds what scheme to do mine in, but it does look terrific in the dark earth/green colours. aircare84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
