Homebee Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Source: http://www.specialhobby.net/2016/10/co-nabidne-tempest-mkii-hi-tech.html Source: http://www.specialhobby.info/2016/10/special-hobby-newsletter-november-2016.html Quote 100-SH32054 Tempest MK.II “Hi-tech” 1/32 The Mk.II Tempest became the second version of the basic airframe to be put into mass production, being powered with a Centaurus radial engine. The first of two prototypes was taken aloft for the first time in June 1943, the second prototype followed in September of the same year. The flight testing did not reveal any major trouble and the RAF was excited about these new aircraft. For practical reasons given by the immediate need in the European Theatre of Operations, the Tempest V version was given priority in production though. The first batches of the Tempest II did not leave the production line until October 1944 and it was expected that the first Tempest II equipped wing meant for the Tiger Force would be ready to leave for the Pacific by May 1945. The rapid development of the events of war, however, brought about a change in the situation and from the total number of 452 Tempest II airframes built as many as 300 were not delivered before the war´s end. As the RAF did not hurry to introduce the new fighter to its peace-time service, the only unit to be equipped with these machiches still in 1945 was no. 54 Sqn. In later times, there were another six combat units which operated the Tempest II fighters, these being located in Germany and India. Following the declaration of indepence of India and Pakistan, India received 85 Tempest IIs from the RAF stocks and Pakistan got another 24 airframes. The Hi-Tech release of our Mk.II Tempest brings finely detailed and 3D-designed resin parts (pilot´s seat, control column, rudder pedals, throttle quadrant, cockpit floor, two styles of the main u/c wheels - with the smooth contour tyre and with a tread pattern, the tail wheel, cannon barrels and also the port wing armament bay with its loading panels open, among other detail parts the modeller may also find a PE fret with seat belt buckles, interior and exterior parts and the armament well edges, also the HGW laser-precut seat belts and a set of masks for clear parts and wheel hubs. The styrene parts come on nine grey styrene sprues and one clear sprue with canopy parts. The surface of the kit features very finely engraved rivet details. Comparing with the Mk.V Hi Tech release, this kit brings also the option to enrich your model with under wing rocket projectiles and their racks, the modeller may expect also the different nose parts enabling him to build this radial-engined version. The A4 size instruction sheet is printed in full colour and will meticulously guide the modeller throughout the build. There are also three decal sheets in this release with the option of five camouflage schemes, three of them wearing British colours, one is an Indian machine and the last one belonged to the Royal Pakistan Air Force. Two of the British machines are depicted as camouflaged, one of them with white identification stripes, the third British machine was painted silver dope overall. The Indian Tempest is also in aluminium finish, the Pakistani Tempest flew in desert camouflage. The decal sheets cater also for a complete set of stencilling which covers not only the exterior of the aircraft, but also interior and some stencils for the external fuel tanks. V.P.

Homebee Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) New High Tech boxing announced - SH32070 - Tempest Mk V. Quote Our Hi-Tech format Tempest Mk.V kit was among the fastest-selling items in the history of Special Hobby company (ex-MPM Production). At present, we offer a basic kit of the Tempest Mk.V fighter – cat.no SH32049. But, as modellers still keep asking for a Hi-Tech kit, we have decided not to re-release the sold-out kit, but on the contrary, we have chosen to prepare for you a completely new model with catalogue number SH32070 with a nice selection of marking options for ace pilots flying on the type. The kit will also comprise an upper section of the Napier Sabre power unit. Those who crave for a complete Sabre engine replica including the radiator might be tempted to use our new CMK resin set that is just being finished by our top designer Norbert. He has been using both his handicraft skills and the most advanced computer system and 3D printer available to Special Hobby to create a real beauty among model engine replicas. Bot the model and the set are due for spring 2017 release. Source: http://www.specialhobby.net/2017/02/set-cmk-napier-sabre-132-novy-hi-tech.html Box art V.P.

Homebee Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Source: http://www.hyperscale.com/2017/reviews/accessories/barracudacastbr72315previewbg_1.htm Quote BR32334 - Tempest V Nose Correction Set. 1/32 scale This set is designed to correct the nose, radiator, prop and spinner on the otherwise stunning Special Hobby Tempest V. The problem with the nose is that the spinner baseplate diameter is too big by about 2 inches. This throws out the taper of the forward cowling. The radiator opening is also too big. This causes problems with the shape of the radiator housing. The spinner is too large, but it also has some shape issues, which we have fixed with an all new spinner. The kit prop blades have also been replaced by a more accurate set. The new nose is cast in one piece for ease of installation, and the fine riveted surface detail has been replicated (no easy task!). Our reference came from the wonderful Arthur Bentley Tempest drawings, plus measurements from original Hawker drawings of the Tempest V nose and spinner. Thanks to Anthony Galbraith and Kerry Carlyle from New Zealand who had access to some terrific Tempest source information. Additional pattern work by Roy Sutherland.
