Hi Chaps
It’s Mk I’s we need the info on, Matt our CGI artist is working on a 3D build of the Whirlwind, he’s a commercial artist by profession and you can tell from the detail of the WIP’s he shown me, nothing is being left out.
That’s why we’re asking for the extreme levels of detail. We need to be very close up and personal with everything about the cannons. We need to get very hi-res images of surviving Mk 1’s Hispano Cannons, Right down to nut & bolt lever, even down to works markings, and type numbers…
I can’t stress enough the importance of getting information to this level.
Unfortunately the Whirlwind Mk 1 had an additional muzzle flash diffuser at the tip that only appeared on the Whirlwind.
That is unless you know different?
The same problem goes for the tyres we know the make, we know the type, we know the tyre pressure, but we haven’t a clue what was embossed on the tyres…
Ian, Alan and Paul, thank you all for your help. It’s very much appreciated.
Ian & Alan would you have a contact number or email you could pass on to us please, many thanks again…
Paul, again thanks for helping with this info, could I ask you for some Hi-Scans if they would take them please…
Also the RAAF Museum at Pt. Cook have a couple, including one that is a cutaway. I can’t remember what Mk it is though. If needs be let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
I’ll see what we can turn up over here before we ask you to go on any recc missions Paul…;)
Stu…
