Quoting from Wikipedia:
- The Westland Whirlwind was a British twin-engined heavy fighter developed by Westland Aircraft. A contemporary of the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane, it was the Royal Air Force's first single-seat, twin-engined, cannon-armed fighter.
- When it first flew in 1938, the Whirlwind was one of the fastest and most heavily-armed combat aircraft in the world. Protracted development problems with its Rolls-Royce Peregrine engines delayed the project and only a relatively small number of Whirlwinds were built. During the Second World War, only three RAF squadrons were equipped with the Whirlwind, and despite its successful use as a fighter and ground attack aircraft it was withdrawn from service in 1943.
This 3D prop of the Westland Whirlwind was created by Neil Wilson. It features options for gear-up/gear-down, canopy open/close prop blur and bombload.
- Editor's tip, when loaded in DAZ|Studio, scale the model to 806%; in that case the dimensions are near spot on with the real craft... (and ready for use with characters)
