| edtherenderman | Cleveland Westland Whirlwind | Build | 19-May-22 19:21 |  | | Views : 1392 | | The other thing that has kept me busy on the Whirlwind is the cockpit. 3D modeling it to print it out. Lots of details, but hard to get good references. Some pictures on-line, but with such a limited production run and no remaining examples, hard to come by. Some “Artistic License” has been used. |

| edtherenderman | Cleveland Westland Whirlwind | Build | 16-May-22 10:46 |  | | Views : 1552 | | It’s been almost two months since I posted something on the Whirlwind, so here you go! Been busy doing odds and ends as well as major stuff. In the picture, I vacu-formed the canopy and 3D printed the canopy frame. Covered the rudder and elevator with silkspan. Painted the landing gear. Not in the picture, I’ve covered the fuse, empennage, wings and nacelles in silkspan. I’ve primed and sanded the wings and nacelles to smooth finishes and have attached the nacelles to the wings. I 3D printed the filler pieces that go between the top of the nacelle and the wings, attached and filled with spackling compound. I still need to sand them smooth. Still have a lot to do, but it is moving slowly forward. |
