Westland Whirlwind Mk.1

by Richard Bungay on November 13, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

Kit: 1/32 Special Hobby This is a great kit. It’s not for beginners and there are many challenges but the result is an impressively large and detailed aircraft model. The landing gear gave me fits - it is very fiddly and fragile but it [...]
