Kio Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) My latest finished project - "little bit" upgraded Hawker Tempest Mk.V 1/72 Academy kit. I made design and 3D print of the new cockpit, wheelbay, gunbay and engine. (all of them will be available on www.u3d.cz) The crazy is that during my work on the project another producer notify a new kit of this plane ... "c est la vie" ( now I know that the KP is not much better ... who knows how wil fit the Airfix ) Edited September 12, 2021 by Kio 58 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That’s an impressive display of craftsmanship. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That is outstanding, it surely gives the look of a much bigger scale. I'll be interested to see how it goes on the Airfix kit, I may well be interested. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Remarkable. How can that be 1/72?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Not convinced that's 1/72; more like 1/48 or 1/32. Terrific detail well executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Impressive ! A fantastic level of detail, really great. And hard to believe it's 1/72... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B. Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Stunning. Absolutely beautiful work There's no clue that is 1/72nd scale whatsoever. Original kit is improved in a "professionnal" fashion down to the sharpness of surface details. Just as if Eduard had already released a 1/72nd scale Tempest. 😉 Confratulations. Eric B.

Spitfire31 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That detailing and finish wouldn't shame a 1:32nd model – in Braille scale, it's just amazing. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 As I said on Facebook, your build has details neither the KP nor Airfix kits offer and just blows them away! Congratulations on an amazing build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
