Hi everyone,
Heres my build thread of my next project ! This model isn't for the faint hearted and shouldn't really be tackled by a beginner
in true sanger form there is no cockpit detail so some resaerch is needed here
to get it fairly correct, alot of strengthing will be needed in the wings and the fuselage.
This kit can only be made into a MK1 as the are no other nacelles supplied.
First port of call is to mark all around the parts the carefully with a fine permanant marker, then re-move them leaving about 2mm waste near the edges of the parts and not forgeting not to throw away the scrap plastic, this comes in handy later on.
Is there anyone who has the frog 1/72 version in their stash who is willing share a few secrets on any interior detail !
One thing i did find out about Whitley's is that the MK1 has no dihedral.
I've put the pictures of the whitley which where on another thread to help me on my way.
A few links....

Now time to start it.... as i gulp in despair
There are very few panel lines on the fuselage, so i'll have to re-scribe alot here the crew door is shown though, i might have this open to show detail.
Nacelles have a neat touch if you want to display it wheels up theres no needs to add the wheels as they are built into the nacelles, shame i'm doing mine wheels down !
I asked Gerald who makes these model kits to do an extra set of clear parts just in case the knife slips. he did gladly for free !
Metal parts are detailed OK, infact better than FM stuff :ha:
Decals seem to be OK, i hope !
These are the only instructions you get so basically its all out of my head and a lot of scratch building.
thanks for looking
ian that looks like it 'd be easier building a real whitley !
your all cracking me up with laughter, there was a few funny replies
