Trumpeter 1/48 Westland Whirlwind

[MakingModelsAgain]

Because I still have to figure out how I am going to replicate the weathering on the underside of the fuselage, I thought I'd share this with you as is. Great kit that builds into a rarely seen example of what was a great aircraft.

The weathering may look excessive - even for me - but it's based on an actual photograph of P6969.

I added PE Sutton seat harness and scratch-built the gunsight and seat cushion - if that could be called scratch-building!









The real deal...

Really like that - very nice battered look

Sweet!! Looks the Gnats knackers, mate

Can I ask what brand of paint/paints and reference numbers/colors you used for the exterior upper and lower camo scheme?

Cheers

Shes a stunner!! i am really liking these kits that trumpeter/Hobbyboss are releasing.. kits that have plenty of detail but dont take but a few weeks to build.. they are great for in between the more time consuming ktis
