Valiant Wings have sent us details of the latest Airframe Album - The Westland Whirlwind. This seems set to be essential reading for anyone tackling the new Trumpeter kit - something of a proverbial curate's egg by the look of pre-release shots...

"Hot on the heels of Trumpeter's Whirlwind kit we have breaking news regarding Airframe Album No 4.

Airframe Album No 4 – The Westland Whirlwind-A Detailed Guide To The RAF’s Twin-engine Fighter by Richard A Franks will publish week commencing May 19th.

We've got some cracking isometric drawings by our new artist Wojtek Sankowski showing off all the detail differences between variants-you might be surprised at how many there are.

As an added bonus we are extending our pre-order postage offer and our prize draw offer with a chance to win a Trumpeter Whirlwind kit to May 25th.

What’s more we are making a set of 1/48 scale plans for the Whirlwind available for all customers who have pre-ordered a copy. These plans have been carefully crafted by Richard J Caruana and will be the perfect companion to both the book and your new Trumpeter Whirlwind kit.

The Westland Whirlwind-A Detailed Guide To The RAF’s Twin-engine Fighter retails at £15.95 RRP. Order before May 25th and get £2.00 off post and packing, a chance to win a free kit PLUS a free set of scale plans."
