David Mooney Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hello all, I picked this kit up a while back and only just got round to it.....thank you lockdown. This is the Special Hobby kit of the Hawker Tempest, soon to be released via Revell again so I'm told. Its not a bad kit but has a few fit issue so I'm not sure if Revell will be correcting these issues, but they aren't nothing major and can easily be fixed. As with all my builds, the paints I use are all Gunze Sanyo. On this build I tried to keep the weathering to a minimum and only really added some weathering to the wing rout walk way areas. 68 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epeeman Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Really love your model Tempest - I also think how you have displayed your piece makes it look that much more realistic. Well done! Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
