Product Description
- The Royal Air Force required two types of fighter aircraft before the war.
- One type was equipped with a machine gun, which evolved into the Hurricane and Spitfire.
- The other was a heavy fighter equipped with a large-caliber machine gun.
- Whirlwind first flew in 1939 as a heavy fighter aircraft equipped with four 20mm cannons.
- Equipped with a small and lightweight Peregrine engine, it had a maximum speed of 580km/h.
- However, the Peregrine was unreliable and only 112 aircraft were produced by 1942.
- It was used until 1944, when it was changed to the Typhoon and Tempest, for long-distance escort and fighter-bomber missions that took advantage of its cruising power.
- The kit is a high-tech kit that includes resin parts, 3D printed parts, and photo-etched parts.
- The nose gun bay and 20mm cannon are reproduced with new parts.
- New cockpit detail parts included
- [Hitech] kit specification that comes with resin parts, photo-etched parts, and 3D printer parts
- 4 types of Royal Air Force decals included
