Very fine Whirlwind my friend!

Thank you very much Brent for your two new Westland Whirlwind repaints in Ecardmodels.

Thanks for the kind replies. Next up is a repaint and test build of Scissors & Planes G3M Nell. It went together really well.

Thanks,
Brent

This is another superb 1/100 model, Brent. As I am sure you know, it is the aircraft of the leader of the 6th Hikō Shotai [flight] of the Genzan Kokutai (Naval Air Group) that was based at Saigon in what was then French Indo China in January 1942 and participated in the attack on and sinking of HMS Repulse and Prince of Wales on 10 December 1942.

An image of G-351 formating with two other Genzan Ku aircraft is below. The source of the image is the late Jim Lansdale’s article on IJNAF land-based bomber markings in the J-Aircraft forum, available at Login

Good images of Jason Bash’s model based on the Hasegawa plastic hit are at Aviation of Japan 日本の航空史: Jason Brash's 1/72 Mitsubishi G3M2 'Nell' and excellent images of Ron Ronconi’s superb plastic model of G-351 are available at: Nervous Nellie : Diskusní forum plastikových modeláøù

If you make this one available, I would like to try my hand at it.

Don

Thanks guys. Great information Don, I like it when historical information is added about these models.
I sent it to Ecardmodels today, so watch there for it if you are interested.
