Hi everybody...

This is the Whippet I built for the Great War Campaign. I replaced the tracks with ones from Model Cellar, used the pistol-ports and engine vent louvers from the Airwaves Whippet set, and scratch built the rest of the external details. I got alot of guidance and inspiration from the models onDiorama 1914. Feel free to comment and provide feedback.




















The Great War Campaign was a alot of fun, thanks to vonhengst for running a great campaign.

Thanks for looking!!

Very nice. Did it start life as the Emhar kit?
