Michael51 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Nice work. What a beast that machine looks. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil.C Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 That's really Nice mate. My Novo version was supposed to be a Closterman but the decals disintegrated. 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. 9 minutes ago, Buzby061 said: That's scrubbed up rather well.

Rich G Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 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!

Rich You are correct about undercarriage, and it is a great kit, no fit problems and hardly any filler needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
