aircare84 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 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.

Uncarina Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I like it a lot! Especially in the Earth/Green camouflage. You did an excellent job. Cheers, Tom monthebiff and aircare84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Very nicely done, really not sure which scheme to go for on mine yet when I get around to it. Regards. Andy aircare84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denders Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Looks Great! Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to build mine when the F-105G is done. aircare84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 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, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Very nicely done. This aircraft is a favorite of mine and I guess it's time I built this kit too. aircare84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 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...
