"Dutch" Tempest Mk.V, Eduard 1/48

[Erik Leijdens]

Recently completed the Eduard Tempest Mk.V series 2. A great kit however the AMS struck so I completed it with some aftermarket; PE flaps from Eduard, wheels, seat, radiator and exhausts from Barracuda studios. The squadron letters and serial are from Dutch Decal to represent the machine of Jan Linzel. This was a "Mayflyer" who managed to escape to the UK and flew with 33 squadron of the RAF.

A fine cockpit OOB but not much can be seen when the fuselage is closed.

Lovely work. Well done

Top Notch paint work all around, especially the subtle weathered flap insides & cockpit

This great result proves in an impressive way that it helps enormously if someone has an experienced cat quality manager who does the final inspection of each & every build step....

 

Cheers

I am in total agreement with every word. Feline supervision is most helpful. Pretty cat, by the way.

Great Tempest. Like the work done to the cockpit as well.

[Tbolt]

Awesome work with some lovely weathering 👏

I find the schemes on the Tiffie and Tempest a bit limited but love what you've done here, the weathering really adds to it
