Hi, this is my first post here.
I scratched a 1/48 Westland Whirlwind over 20 years ago. I just picked up the new Trumpeter kit and they made an interesting comparison. I'm assuming that Trumpeter did a better job with shape accuracy. The fuselages, wings and tail surfaces are virtually identical in shape and size, but my nacelles are too bulky by comparison and my wings a bit too thick. But the Trumpeter kit seem to be missing some details. My old model also has a removable nose showing the 20mm cannons within. Unfortunately the wings are de-laminating with age, not really repairable, I'm not sure if it will go into the scrap bin at this point.
All done:
Work commenced on the Trumpeter kit:
