NOVO 1/72 Gloster Whittle E28/39 Pioneer

[Rhino]

My entry for Micro Model Month 2026. I took me a while to find the ol' girl. This one came from Curt Young's collection.

Then again, perhaps not.

Actually the "after it crashed" version of that model is quite rare

I used to buy some IMC kits BECAUSE they included battle damaged parts! Lindberg molds with added parts! No, the damage wasn't relaistic but in the early 70s, I didn't care!

I ordered the Clear Prop decals, cockpit P/E and pitot tube, or I would just let it go. It's just a model. It ain't life and death.
After yesterdays DOT debacle, I tire of things that are difficult.
I have contacted other airplane model miscreants. I might find one at the Madison show this weekend.
