Rob S Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) I mentioned this in one of the other GB Proposals so thought I might start the ball rolling seeing no one else had picked it up and run with it. Basically this GB Proposal covers Hawker Fighters in any scale from the Hawker Tornado to the Sea Fury lineage viz : Tornado Typhoon Tempest Fury Sea Fury Any scale, any Mark/Version, any Proposed Mark/Version (if valid Documentation is provided/found - so out and out Whifs are not included), and any Post War Conversions and Racers. The fuse is lit - let’s see if this idea is a Winner or a Fizzer.

theplasticsurgeon Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 New Airfix 1/72 Tempest (with stubby cannons) should be available by then - and I've got one on order. I'm in. Edited 05 March 2022. Got it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in. I seem to remember that one being mentioned but must admit I'd completely forgotten about it when starting this. If it's anything like their Typhoon it'll be a real Winner!

AW Hopefully Airfix will follow the 1:72 Tempest with a new tool 1:72 Sea Fury next year in time for this GB if it gets up for 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 Here's an example of a Proposed Version that is eligible for this GB - the Eagle engined Tempest : https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/airfixtributeforum/smer-ex-heller-1-72-hawker-tempest-vii-nv768-conve-t7401.html Would make an interesting side by side comparison with an Eagle engined Wyvern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
