Gazzas Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) I know a guy who just threw his Special Hobby Whirlwind into the trash in frustration. Hopefully this one is more joyful.

My own experience has been pretty good , just got done with their Yak-3 and it was a dream to build [not a night mare either ] Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing the sprues of the original issue of this kit and the Whirlwind, the whirlwind looks league's ahead, crisper, more detailed parts, clearer instructions, more thought out construction engineering.

I took a break and hummed a tune. But all is OK now. I am now flipping the bird at the HPH vampire/vermin what ever the heck you call it. It is all called model building.

Indeed they are special, and I am very glad that they exist!

Rick Griewski Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Gazzas, This plane is a beauty compared to the Breda A-20/K-10. It is truly a wonder that the Breda could fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
