Very nice. Great weathering.
As an aside in the background there seems to be a very modern aluminium trailer.

Looks great! Looks as good as a new kit coming onto the market today.

I have one of these in the stash, plus the Falcon vac canopy. You've inspired me to build it soon!

Terrific job Giulio, great result with the wear and tear/weathering.

An excellent model of an aeroplane that I remember building in my early teens and has fascinated me ever since. Very good finish - very convincing.

Splendid job - looks the business.

Thanks to all.

[BlohmWolf]

Looks quite the boss. Especially with re-scribing treatment, it looks wonderful.

Lovely job, nicely 'worn' look to it too.

Great work with this old kit and that's a helluva weathering job!

[broadside]

Great model, the weathering looks terrific.

Nice work.

Did you know there's a group trying to put together a full-scale, non-flying replica of the Whirlwind? Hope they manage it - it's a sorely forgotten type!

Very nice. I like your weathering.
