Sometimes things are going slowly and we need to finish other projects sooner. This is the case.

Today I have only a small update for you who are interested in the Mk.II version. It is the final (re-worked) design of the spinner assembly and front row of the radial engine.

Well, possibly late summer / early autumn.

Here we have all three spinners and props for various versions of the Tempest:

at the top is the Mk.II spinner, in the middle is Mk.V with DH (rounded) and Rotol (pointed) props and at the bottom is for Mk.VI

Man, that detailing is superb ! I can't wait, the Tempest was always my favourite in the WWII timeframe. Can you confirm the major components will be the usual short run technology and the smaller parts the steel moulds technology ?

Hello,

I´d like to ask for a help here, we are (yes, slowly) finishing our pattern-model for the 1/32 Hawker Tempest Mk.II / V / VI.

Now we have a problem with the Mk.VI´s underbelly air-filter fairing (see drawing below) which we´d like to portray

correctly, but alas we have no photos for this detail.

There are two sets of drawings available to us, these attached below and also a wonderful set from Mr. Bentles

Each drawing is, sadly, depictiong this fairing differently.

We would really appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot!

Petr / MPM Production

Hello Petr

Looks very good but just a pity about NOT separated control surfaceS !!

to my opinion: a minimum with 1/32 "actual standart", mainly fighters concerning....

raf

You're bloody well right, Raphael......

Hello Raphael and Didier,

There are separate elevators and a rudder in the model. So I hope you will enjoy building this model with the tail control surfaces deflected. And yes, you are right, the other surfaces are left fixed - the ailerons and the wing flaps. We thought it might help with better fit of the wing parts.


See the separate elevators and rudder on the accompanied photos:
