Airfix 1/72 Westland Whirlwind HAS.22 Build A02056V

[@curtjurgens5538]

I have been having problems with my hands the past few months. After I came across your channel I found myself inspired to find ways to continue building. Thank you! I can't express what your videos did for my depression. I am building models again and feel much better!

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thank you for the kind words. Indeed, we must always focus on the things we can and love to do! And you will also inspire others in your turn. All the very best!

I hear you, getting old has it's issues.

[@panigalecheckmate1549]

Easy, cause of less parts, I lo❤ve it. I love easy Kits !

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thank you. It was an older kit so there were some challenges, but still a fun build.

[@panigalecheckmate1549]

G'day to you, Nice job on the Painting, like seeing the Old Kits get a Mention now and again! Armadale West Aust.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Many thanks! It was a challenging but fun build. Am now looking around for another popular vintage kit to work on.

[@PanzermansBunker]

It is great to see time spent on a vintage kit. Your modeling skills elevated this average kit into a show piece. I too have an affinity for the old dog kits. Hahaha. Keep having fun my friend. Bill

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thanks! And it was fun building this kit.

[@monstamanc]

Very fond memories of building this kit with it's original BEA markings back in the early 1960's. For an ancient kit it still looks good. Italeri keep saying they will re-release their S55 but until that day happens the Airfix kit is all we have to work with. Congratulations on you fine build.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thank you! It was an enjoyable build.

[@alanrogers8535]

Lovely little build, I like and the decals now are so much better.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Many thanks, yes the decals do work well.

[@ianturvey3894]

You’ve done a really great job with what is a very old and crude kit by today’s standards. I’ve picked up some good modelling tips from you also.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Many thanks! I enjoyed this build.

[@franciscoj.sepulvedal.7975]

Well done !! I had this kit when I was a child ❤

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Many thanks! I enjoyed building this model very much.

[@BennyCFD]

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thanks, I did have some fun building this one.

[@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn]

Nice build, makes me want to get one, although I've already got a few things coming for Xmas, plus I like your presentation style. Glad I found your channel.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thank you! I've also got a few more builds coming soon. Happy holidays and happy building to you!

[@glynngriffith3044]

Superb instructive video thank you

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thank you!

[@alanreeves2081]

Just shows what can be done with an old kit...well done ...

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Many thanks! Yes, model is just as fun now as it was then.

[@davidguy6823]

Good job well done. Vintage classic kits are not the easiest to build.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thanks! Was challenging but still fun.

[@manorman01]

great job

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Many thanks!

[@ericsjaunirsjoekoer8535]

Good job on an old kit. Will be building mine in the near future. Btw, you sound like a Malaysian.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thank you! It was an enjoyable build.

[@markc7002]

Exceptional result from that ancient kit!!

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Had lots of fun building this one. And many thanks!

[@birodude]

Nice video and great build of the model. I especially liked the tip about the canopy framework. After years of being frustrated with masking canopies I think that you have provided me (and possibly the rest of the modelling world) with this unique (at least to me) solution to masking these vintage models.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Many thanks! We all learn and share tips in this great hobby. Thank you for the kind words.

[@vaughanlockett658]

Great build personally i would have kept the main airframe gloss as it would be more authentic.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Many thanks! Yes I am planning to build another of this Whirlwind and will try the gloss finish.

[@Canberra-fan]

Nice build! I have one in my stash to build

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thanks! It was an enjoyable build.

[@Storkmeister63]

Great video. Even picked up a few tips thank you. But might I suggest staying away from sharp implements judging by your hands lol

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thanks! Can't stay away from those cutting tools, otherwise the model can't get built. Just have to be very very careful ... HaHa!

[@potrzebieneuman4702]

Beautiful build on a not particularly easy model. I am working on this now but rather than the dark green and white I'm using the royal blue upper and the sky lower fuselage, as they were at one time in the Royal Navy I think. I've always had a soft spot for the Whirlwind.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Thanks! And would love to see your build too.

[@NickAndrewsFaulkner]

I'm in the middle of making this at the moment, for a Vintage Classic it's not too bad. I don't remember making it first time round back in the 70s, but so far, so good. You got a good result, I don't think mine will look as good

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Yes, I did enjoy building it. There were some challenging bits, and some fun bits. Enjoy building yours, and share when you can.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Great build of an old classic 👍. New sub here with best wishes from jolly old England 👍🎅Pete 🤓

Many thanks!

[@jamesauld5145]

I could never work out how that main rotor shaft was supposed to stay in place.

[@HobbyHands-by_CC]

Yes, wrapping some tape around the shaft will help. Cheers.
