falcon Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Way back in 2006/7 I built my interpretation of the BAE Tempest II in 1/72 scale based on an old AVPRO FOAS artwork. This was the finished result. The model survived very well over the years with no breakages but over time the varnish started to go a bit funky and last year stated to go brown. I decided that a repaint was in order as the model itself was still in very good condition and could easily last another 13 years or so. The scheme has now been changed to fit in with current trends, Enjoy. Edited January 11, 2020 by falcon Duplicate image changed. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Cheers mate. It is a kitbash using a YF-23, an SU.34, plenty of filler and some plastic card. I have even found the photos from the original build on my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVPRO was the company that did a whole series of futuristic project paintings. FOAS stands for Future Offensive Air System. This was the original program that dates back to the late 1990's looking at replacing the air strike capability provided by the Tornado GR4 from around 2017. A number of different projects were looked at including newer versions of the Eurofighter Typhoon, completely new aircraft, CALCM's (Conventional Air Launched Cruise Missiles) and UAV's.

I did start a second one but the build stalled very early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
