Hudson bombbay colour Whirlwind

[aircro]

What is the colour of RAF Lockheed Hudson III bombbay: interior green, aluminium or something else? And, does anybody have a picture or drawing of Westland Whirlwind F I wheelbay?

From the little I've seen of the Hudson bomb bay, it appears to be Interior Green, possibly Bronze Green. Sorry, can't help with the Whirlwind stuff, it appears to be as rare as rocking horse doo doos!

The rocking horse stuff might be easier to find I think....

Hi
If no one else posts anything I have some stuff ( think photos plans ) but it will take a day or two to find it,
As i am looking anything else whirlwind required whilst i am looking ? I always like an excuse to look at my whirlwind stuff.

Hi
not quite as rare as as rocking horse doo doos, but then I did start researching in the early 70's.
( just realised when typing this that's almost 40 years ago... scary...)

Great stuff Jerry! It must be about 40 years ago when I had some pics and drawings on the Whirlwind, sadly since lost in house moves etc.

Wow,Jerry,just-Wow! Especially first photo - what a suprize. My Airfix Whirlwind is scribed and waiting since last year.

This is great! I have an Airfix Whirlwind, and an airwaves PE interior set, but no information on the wheel bays, so this will help a lot. Thanks

Hi

W... w... what a shock! BrewerYerry where did You get this material, do You have something about Vickers Wellesley??? Whirlwind would stay for some more time, I'm workin' on Airfix (1/72) Typhoon and yust finish geting fater engine cowling (after I glue fuselage halves -then I discover that is cowling 2mm to thin).

 

[aircro]

Amazing, yust amazing... Whirlwind would wait for some more because I'm now workin on Airfix (1/72) Typhoon (I discover that engine cowling is 2mm to thin AFTER I glue fuselage halves so... I make it fat). But, Your stuff Brewerjerry, it made me veryvery happy - do You have anything about Vickers Wellesley???

 

[brewerjerry]

Hi All,
Just for those interested in the whirlwind there are three new kits being issued by special hobby in 1:72
I have bought one and am waiting for it to arrive.
It does not seem to be a re release of either the airfix or pavla molds.
For those really keen there is a seller in poland with some, and they are on e bay
..... strangely at a realistic price....

cheers
Jerry

Good info Jerry. Wish there was a 1/48th scale kit though!

 

[aircro]

For that price I would buy it only if is in 1/32 scale. On old kits you have something (or everything) to do, any child can build Hasegawa or something like that.
