stevehnz Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 That looks very tidy Patrice, very little filler either that I can see, would be typical of an Academy kit if that is so. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 As your name suggests - it looks like Tempest fever has certainly kicked in on Patrice’s modelling bench. No doubt you’ve already seen the huge difference between these kits and the Matchbox offering? The Academy mould being quite well detailed, however the old Matchbox kit is a little closer overall compared to Arthur Bentley’s plans. I know your at an advanced stage here Patrice, however the Academy kit does suffer from a slightly bulged look around the wing tip and aileron profile. A few swipes of a sanding stick should narrow these areas closer to is proper shape. Cheers and good luck... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Good evening Dave Thank you for your interest , no need to say that there is a huge difference between the Academy and the Matchbox Tempest .. I must admit that I didn't compared the Academy to the plans in the 4+ book I use I will try to correct the bulged look around the wing tip and aileron profile tomorrow thank you for pointing that ..

Col. Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Always seems a good step forward to me once the camouflage colours start going on Patrice. The Tempest does look rather different in a two-tone grey scheme though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
