May have to do a bit of scratch building judging by that pic

I'd hazard a guess there may be a few more bits in the box :lol:

The mark II is certainly on my shopping list :thumbsup:

March 30th - Tempest 1/32 - práce na formách

Dvě ryze dokumentární fotografie dokumentují práci na galvanických formách pro Tempest. (Foceno přes zaprášený plexi kryt frézky, od kterého se navíc odrazil blesk)

1/32 Hawker Tempest Special Hobby finish.............

The long-awaited plastic kit. It almost looked that this project has fallen asleep. Opposite is the case. The tools for the small parts are already finished. The tools for large plastic kit parts are now also so far. Soon the Test Shots run on .......

The Tempest molds rise from their bath...

Just like the mythological Phoenix rose from the ashes, so do the Tempest molds rise from the galvanizing baths. There is still a lot to be done and everyone is working on them - both in the studio and in the tool room . The moulds are being cleaned, polished, put together and submitted to further treatments. For the Tempest Mk.V, there will be a total of six galvanized moulds, including one for the canopies which has already been finished. There are also three milled moulds. But that's a story for some other time.

Thanks for the update and nice to know that you are still making progress on this kit which should prove to be very popular indeed,........but probably not as popular as your proposed 1/48th Beaufort!!

Cheers
