Flipper Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I was watching a video from E-day and Mr.Riedel really have confirmed this. To my surprise, he told the audience, that Whirlwind is missing just small parts to be finished, and they will produce Sea Fury as well, because it is very close to Tempest Mk.II and they have a lot of requests from all over the world. mpk, Kagemusha, David66 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Looks like I can add yet another to my list, as the Whirlwind has been a favorite of mine for eons. Joe66, Rick Griewski, mpk and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamF Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm not sure the Sea Fury is that close to the Tempest MK2, Its a whole new fuselage. Graham mpk, wrbrdmech and David66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I would definitely build the Whirlwind, but must admit based on past experience I am a bit dubious about when it might appear. But I will remain positive....somewhat. mpk and David66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this video available on-line? Thanks M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Thank goodness for Special Hobby and their choices. I read that the production run of the Hi-Tech version of the Tempest V is now gone, although the regular boxing is still available. The Sea Fury will be extremely welcome, and an injection moulded version of the Typhoon is fantastic news. The Whirlwind will also make many people happy here. It's not at the top of my list but still I know it's been requested for a long time. Bad times for the wallet though.

KOG7777 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well, I know I'll be setting aside cash for all 3. So nice to finally have a new plastic 1/32 Typhoon on the horizon. I already have the Airfix 1/24, which is GREAT.... but it doesn't really fit in a lineup with my other 1/32 stuff. With the Fly Hurricane lineup and Special Hobby covering the Typhoon/Tempest/Sea Fury... I can finally do a decent amount of Hawker stuff in 1/32. I wonder why Hawker is so unloved by the more 'mainstream' plastic producers though. David66, williamj, mpk and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Now a Whirlwind will definately persuade me to open up my wallet and clear my bench immediately, I was that desperate for one that I built a 1/48 kit of one, Classic Airframes I think.

williamj Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I will jump on the high tech Tempest...not a big Whirlwind fan. David66 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis I had the same kit, and it was very nice indeed. The resin was quite well done. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well, I am very happy about these, yes sooner rather than later would be nice but, if they are all going to follow along the lines of the Mk.V Tempest I can wait, and my wallet can certainly wait, to space the purchases out a little. We already know that the Mk.II tempest is not far off so that is great. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
