Certainly is! I've always thought the Whirlwind would look even nicer if the tail-plane was lowered, and it had a full 'bubble' canopy, similar to the Typhoon.
 
Clean work as always! Interesting how short the nose is. It looks a bit unbalanced (the airplane, not the model) but I guess the engines will push lots of mass forward of the wings!
 
Ok the wing intakes being prepped, and the engine nacelles now in place. The nacelles fitted reasonably well but left a pronounced step on the top edge of about half a mil, this has been filed down flush now....
