  1. Looking at the contents of the box and reading through other people’s build threads I decided not to write a build thread for this one as I was not sure that it would get finished. But I did hedge my bets by keeping notes and taking photos just in case it worked out better than I thought. But for those Tempest lovers and for those with PCM Tempests in their stash I decided to go ahead. And it did go better than I had expected and here is where I am up to now, apart from the cockpit photos which I must have accidentally deleted I have all the photos that I took up to this point. After my Japanese kit building period I decided to start building some of the PCM kits that I have in the stash, my theme this time is RAF, and as usual I will attempt to build three in a year. I settled on the Hawker Tempest, Hawker Hurricane Mk.I (fabric winged) and Spitfire IX, the latter because amazingly I have never build a Mk.IX. I started with the Tempest as it is one of my favourite subjects, I meant to build it years ago but got seduced by an MDC Typhoon. The intention was to build the Typhoon and then the Tempest but I was appalled by the small number of builds that I had completed that year so did two quick builds of Luftwaffe subjects. For some reason I have two PCM Tempest kits, in my eagerness to get my grubby hands on one I must have ordered from two different shops. You have to remember that at the time PCM was making kits of subjects that had not been kitted before, the Tempest, Hurricane and Spitfire IX being the major ones for me, though later on the fascination for Italian subjects would lead to another PCM spending spree. To encourage manufacturers to build nice subjects I also have a Special Hobby Tempest to build as well. This seems to work as a Whirlwind is in the offing, just need a Defiant and a Fulmar and a Battle and more, and more, and more. More soon Cheers Dennis
