Westland Whirlwind

[comrade harps]

I have a Sovietize it concept for an East of Urals produced Whirlwind (they got the jigs after the Poms stopped making them in Dec '41), but with Lend-Lease Packard Merlin engines. Maybe with a Brit 18 inch torpedo on the centreline.

What would be the best donor for a couple of Merlins? A Mosquito, Hornet, two Firefly kits or another source?

A Lancaster, then you have two Merlins left over for something else, and you can make a Lincoln with the rest. Or a glider maybe...........

I thought I saw somewhere here a model of a Westland Whirlwind with jet engines, but doing a search doesn't show anything.  I fairly sure I did see it on this forum, can anyone direct me to the thread please.

Hi Kitnut617. I´m PACOPEPE from Spain. Do you like it?. What´s your opinion about it?. Do you want to know something else?.

I´m very happy for your interest.



Cheers

Hey guys, thanks for that.  I'm sure I've seen another though.

PP, it's a very novel idea and looks really good, I've posted a link to your thread over on the ATF forum as there's a fellow there thinking about doing a Jet Whirlwind.

The title has got me thinking about a 1950's Airwolf, hmmm.....

As it happens, I can't find the photo of this in either place, just looked through my BSP books and didn't find it there, nor on the What-If & Oddball site.  Now where the heck have I seen it before ??

Been thinking about doing a jet powered Whirlwind for a long time. the only difference is that I am looking to do mine with swept wings in place of the straight ones.

Hi again Kitnut617. Please, search the following: Gloster Whirlwind Ii . Just so.

Nevertheless, i like my Seawind much more.

Hi PacoPepe, thanks, that must have been where I saw it before.
