Also the re-boxed kit is offered by Bilek with no.917 kit. It is quite a basic model. Are you going to add a few details more?

WOW ! Talk about bringing back memories. I built that very same kit in the early 70s. Always thought the Whirlwind was a dam hot looking aircraft. I still have it too.

I also always thought it was a great looking airplane. I have a Classic Airframes 1/48 Whrilwind in my stash. I have not even opened the parts bag.

Not much detail for sure. If I remember right I picked my Whirlwind up at a toy store in Brussels along with a Boulton Paul Defiant back in the early 70's, back then they were on cardboard with a blister pack over them, no box. My uncle Ian who was an RAF Wing Commander was stationed there with NATO at the time.
 
thx guys

here is little progress, all is story is written on the pictures
