Tempest Mk. V W/Cdr Roland P. Beamont 1:48 Eduard & Alley Cat


Recommended Posts

Still some stuff to glue in place like U/C and antennas. Somehow I take longer for the small stuff than I thought - a good deal of time was send on searching my workbench for the U/C covers and the resin gun sight. I found the covers but gave up on the gunsight. I hope to get the pictures done in time on Sunday for the GB gallery. Would not be the first time I finished a GB just in time and missed to post the pictures before the gallery was locked...

so next update will be either the GB Gallery or the RFI...

thanks for watching and all the good tips.

Thanks!!!

Here is my final comment on this with some close ups and some reworkd pics from the Gallery.

I tried to get hold on the Aeroclub U/C set for the Tempest but to no avail so I had to go with the kit parts. The instructions are quite vague in places and as there are no location pins you will need photo reference to find out how things go together. Still you end up with a fiddly u/c which will probably break easily if you look too hard at it. Another issue with the kit parts is in the u/c well. The operating rod of the inner doors cannot be located correctly once the bay is enclosed. Take care with this when you attempt to build this kit:

And some reworked pics from the gallery (I just adjusted colour, brightness etc.) I wanted to take new pics outside but the weather is rather bad this week.

Thanks again for all the help, kind words and looking. I really have to say that I would not have finished this one (at least so soon) if I had not enered it here. :thumbsup:
