Very nice Dennis,

Congrats!

I knew of the panther on a Spitfire, but not on a Tempest.

It looks just as impressive.

Thanks the Panther markings were never worn in real life on the Tempest, though the squadron did operate the type. I did it more as a Whif build.

The old Matchbox Tempest is one of my favorite kits. Maybe because I built one back in the days when I was a young boy. I like that you added the drop tanks and the rockets.

Even though these are whif markings IIRC there was at least on Tempest that was delivered to the SEA theatre of operations for trials that had these markings apart from 152 Squadron panther and codes letters of course.
