I'm continuing to be impressed with how nice the "Epic-scale" tank models are.  

 

The Whirlwind design is an interesting departure from the 2nd Edition model, in terms of the launcher part - the original "DIY" model by Tony Cottrell had a single 4x2 enclosure like these (albeit with a slightly more boxy appearance!), rather than the split launcher pods of the Scorpius. I'm assuming it means that there'll be a new 28mm kit along at some point..?

Pretty sure forgeworld made a “two pods joined together”  style whirlwind upgrade kit at one point. It is definitely how the launcher on the Land Raider Helios looks.

They did - it was two pods of 3 arranged in a triangle. I think Owen Rees had one in his Dark Angels army, if you can remember back that far.
