What a beast that machine looks.

Lovely, clean build.

 

I always thought that Tempest kit was one of Heller's best efforts in terms of fit and finesse. I'm happy to see Smer keeping the moulds in action.

I agree it was a nice kit to build, good fit hardly any filler used at all.

That's really Nice mate.

 

My Novo version was supposed to be  a Closterman but the decals disintegrated.:mellow:

 

Great to see what it should have looked like!

 

I do like a Tempest,  such a rip snorting looking fighter, probably have another go at a later date.

Well to be honest these decals were not great either and on second thought i would not use the stencils again and thanks for kind comment.

Really nice, I built the Heller boxing several years ago, I remember the undercarriage being a little weak but generally I thought this was a great kit, you've done it real justice!

You are correct about undercarriage, and it is a great kit, no fit problems and hardly any filler needed.
