Whiffs on Ebay

Dizzyfugu · July 24, 2014, 07:21:18 AM

Yup, that's pretty wild - including the three-bladed prop. But pretty skillful - with some Swedish markings...?

I'm seeing this model almost every time I visit ebay and my only reaction is

.
But since it's more a whiff, rather than a model of a real a/c (even the name was transformed to Fock Wulf - I just love it!), its place is probably here

.

I'm not quite sure but the "butcher bird" probably belongs to the MMAF (Mickey Mouse Air Force):

More details here.
BTW the seller says it better than anybody:
"kit is hand paint it is not a pro job still looks good"

I love how you can see every weed in the garden but you can barely make out the markings !

Cool ! Love the look/ shape of the nose engine. I also think it would look great as a single engine bird.

That's somebody who sells whiffy resin conversion kits on ebay. Not certain about the quality, and I must state that some conversions have SERIOUS similarity to some of my conversions (e .g. the Fw 190Z with the underslung jet engine) - and they appeared after I posted them on FlickR...

He's got a whole heap of Whiffed/Luft 46 stuff he's selling.

And it looks like they're resin conversions or whole resin kits rather than built up models too. A Whiff Warehouse even.....

Captain Canada · August 09, 2014, 06:33:52 AM

Wow ! Is that ever a big collection ! Some of the stuff looks pretty neat / is new to me.....like that twin nose jet Focke Wulf thing. I like it !

The resin itself is good but the parts breakdown.. isn't. Willie swears that they're worse than Unicraft.

Whilst looking for one thing I found this

I'm, with you Canso. While not being the world's greatest Luftwaffe '46 fan, that does look the BUSINESS!

It has Focke-Wulf written all over it to me, but what do I know about such things?

Maybe Bird / White Cat have improved BUT I bought their V-1 Wotan 1/72 WCM Bausatz rar selten and it was a dogs breakfast - it would have been nice if the round parts were round

, unfortunately their TA183 nightfigher was similar. I onsold both on ebay. The same applies to their Flugscheibe RFZ-2 "Wärmflasche" if you look at their photo. I love the look of their subjects just not game to try again.
