Product Description

--The Whirlwind is the Royal Air Force's first twin-engine single-seat fighter.
――The prototype aircraft first flew in 1938 and a mass production order was placed in 1939, but due to difficulties in developing the Rolls-Royce Periglin engine installed, the deployment of the unit was delayed until 1940.
――This machine was expected to play an active role as a fighter due to its excellent maneuverability and the high heat of four 20 mm cannons, but suffered from engine malfunction and was operated as a fighter bomber from 1941, and also bombed. It was also used for aircraft escort missions.
――Production was discontinued with 112 aircraft in 1942, and in 1943 it retired from the front line.
――This book is a wonderfully detailed material book with data from the drawings, actual flight manuals, parts catalogs, etc. at that time.
-Full of information such as color profile, camouflage, marking, etc.
--An example of a 1/32 new kit of special hobby by Steve A. Evans is also posted.
--This is a revised version of the contents of [VAW58663] released in the past.
--A must-have book for modelers and whirlwind lovers.
