pierre Giustiniani Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) A tribute to Belgian pilots, often forgotten. This is the mount of Remi Van Lierde. One of the top V1 killer. Series 2 mold has corrected almost all the defaults of the first batch of the series 1 and is very agreeable to build. Hope you'll like her Cheers Pierre Edited March 23, 2019 by pierre Giustiniani 59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Lovely build Pierre - some nice weathering and detailing. If I was to be extra critical, you have simplified the application of the codes, particularly on the starboard side around the JF but otherwise spot on. It looks like the spinner cut outs have been altered, what other improvements have been made? Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pierre Giustiniani Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Thank you Gents This kit is very good. in the series 2 i have the impression that the quality of moulding is better (sightly irregular trailing edge in S1), no more gap when glueing leading edge. I had really no bad issue with this kit, very agreable to build, zero putty used except for the lower flap joint). Another advantage compared to series 1: the spinner has been corrected, no bump to add to wing root and many camos differents. a delicate point: positive rivets ( i don’t know if it’s a really good idea). Please Mr Eduard provides us stressed surfaces on wing or fuselage instead cheers pierre Edited March 24, 2019 by pierre Giustiniani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threadbear Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I have the series 1 kit and looking at the parts, I think a series 2 maybe possible? fantastic Tempest. Also looking through the new Valiant Publishing Tempest book, it appears that the strengthening fuselage plates weren’t that common? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood that as well but that could have been for later on in production? I've got the Series 1 as well but have the corrected Vector Kit for the flaps, propeller, and exhaust. The decals were what I liked upon the first release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Beutiful build and finish, but I don't think the spinner has been corrected in the version 2 kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
