Special Hobby Westland Whirlwind

[aircare84]

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.

I like it a lot! Especially in the Earth/Green camouflage. You did an excellent job.

Very nicely done, really not sure which scheme to go for on mine yet when I get around to it.

It’s a nice bit of work, there.

Looks awesome Larry.  I just pick this kit up a couple days ago.

Looks Great! Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to build mine when the F-105G is done.

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.

 

Cheers

Very nicely done.  This aircraft is a favorite of mine and I guess it's time I built this kit too.

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.
