The "passenger" one appeals to me.  Although i'd need to change the tail as i've always thought the standard Whitley design is clumsy.
I still have a load of Heyford parts in a box under my bench...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

While I know it actually happened, somehow using the words 'Whitely' and 'Airliner' in the same context just doesn't gel.......  ;D

And doesn't 'MPA' sound too modern in the context of a  Whitley as well ???  ;D

Yup when I was a nipper they were Sub-Hunters  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That's absolutely true in my case.  ;D :lol:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Mind you - we could bring Whitleys back now (yes okay I know there aren't any airframes out there!) and they'd STILL be the best MPA we'd have (and yes I know they'll be a P-8 along in a moment ...couple of years ...decade (surely not, please!) :banghead:) ;D ;D ;D
Oh to be whiffing again :-(

The Wooksta!

If anyone is getting the MPA version and isn't using the airliner blanks, can I scrounge them?

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
