Josip Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Hello folks! This is my attempt to depict an early Hawker Tempest mk.V from a well renowned Academy 1:72 kit. I managed to enhance it by some scratchbuilding (signal lights from clear plastic, hollowed exhausts, cut movable surfaces, cannon barrels, scribed thread pattern on the tyres, reinforcement of the tail and riveting the airframe allover, which is sadly invisible on the photos). It can actually fly!?! Enjoy the pics! Josip Edited May 9, 2013 by Josip 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanflyer Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Nice job on a brutal aeroplane, and in such a small scale too! Sorry, but I couldn't resist removing some bits from this photo: Puts it in its element, where it belongs... Good work, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
