petr@SpecialHobby Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Something very special now - the iconic British fighter Hawker Tempest. Main parts as a short-run, smaller parts injected into aluminium molds. Box-art shows machine of NZ pilot, S/L Warren "Smokey" Schrader, DFC and Bar, an ace with 9 1/2 kills, most of them gained in the cockpit of this very machine.

Paul J Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not my scale. BUT it looks to be very impressive. It might just tempt me to build one as my only 1/32nd and the Tempest is one of my favourites away from Spitfires and Mustangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petr@SpecialHobby Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well, we have made also some progress with the 32nd scale Tempest, look here please.The clear canopy is made of resin, only here and for test-fitting purposes. In the model there will be classical clear plastic one.The cockpit will contain its tubular frame construction, of course, and whole surface of the model will be "rivetted". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
