We are intensively working on the Tempest in 1/48 scale, which, in batting order, is right behind the Fw 190A. Actually, we have the design for the Mk.V version ready. The Mk.II and Mk.VI will be finished next year. These two versions will be released in cooperation with Special Hobby. V.P.

Caerbannog Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I wait for the Mk II. I fought their old tool V Special edition already, so this space is occupied on the shelf - enough to do this year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 So are these going to be Special Hobby molds with Eduard resin/etch, or all new tooled by Eduard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matter that much, the point is we are getting some lovely new Tempest's in 1/48th scale! Edited January 30, 2017 by Tbolt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I was wondering the same as SH are missing the 1/48, so it could be they are providing the research and Eduard the plastic, whichever it looks like a win win to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wurgerfan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Pleased to see a state of the art kit of this aircraft in 1/48. Very big fan of the Typhoon/Tempest family of aircraft. All I need now to make me happy is a new 1/32 state of the art injected Typhoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davmarx Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Oh my... an Eduard Tempest Mk.II 1/48, my dreams comes true! I still remember the old Matchbox 1/72 I built in youth. Ciao. Davide 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digging into my memories, it was the one with Indian markings (radial engine - so a mark II?) Edited October 12, 2017 by PattheCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It's going to take a long time to fill all those holes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basuroy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 While Eduard is capable of scale appropriate rivets (just check out their 72nd scale spitfire ) , the density on this model appears too much - I think they will appear fine if left alone but an oil wash in all of them will result in a very odd looking model .

Density too much? You mean realistically placed unlike some other manufactures that just add a few unrealistically placed rivets. But yes you'll have to be careful applying a panel line wash not to get it in the rivets and a generally weathering up of the surface becomes difficult.

DominikS Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Sorry, but I don't buy these 'rivets'. These are holes, not rivets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpperDeck Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 If the rivets are like on the same brand's Spitfires, I will be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcop Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'll wait until 2022 to buy the second or third "all new tool" edition of this kit, that will bring the needed corrections to the first and second edition. Never buy the first edition with Eduard kit, just like with women , the second is always better ... and cost less. Madcop. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because in 1/48th scale a 1/4 inch rivet head would be 0.13mm - I'd love to see tooling that could make a ring that size. So Eduard make the decision to represent them with holes. Sure I'd rather not have anything there, but they are there so we have to live with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vast majority for those skin thicknesses would even be 5/32 and 3/16. Yea, thing is, it's en vogue currently, so we have to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, thing is, it's en vogue currently, so we have to deal with it. When I said 1/4 inch rivet head, I wasn't talking about a 1/4 inch rivet, I was talking about a rivet with a 1/4 inch head, since that's what's relevant here, not the shank diameter - 1/4 inch in 1/32nd scale equals 0.13mm. I don't know the skin thickness of the Tempest, but I would have thought a 5/32 100 degree rivet probably has a head diameter around 1/4 inch.
