toniosky Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hello, This my latest build, made from the SH and the Eduard boxings. Why 2 kits ? Simply because I screwed up part of the first build and, because I never give up and like the type, decided to carry on the build and bought another kit 😬 Pretty good kit, despite some minor inaccuracies with the engraving under the fuselage. I was not fond of the decals as colors are not always well aligned - especially for the stencils. I did peel off the varnish top layer on the decals to get that "painted on" look. This has to be done gently otherwise you might end up tearing off the paint as well. Color scheme is from the Pakistanese Air Force. 72 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Oh, that's beautiful! The Tempest Mk. II looks nice in desert garb and I love the colorful Pakistani markings. The paint work is wonderful. Very nice work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the engine comes from the SH boxing. It might not be the perfect rendition because I think that more depth is expected between cylinders but it does the trick and fits perfectly well.

To my eyes, the Mk II is one of the best looking fighter of WWII, along with the Ta-152. You can feel the power of the machine just by looking at it and this is emphasized here (at least I hope) by revealing the Centaurus engine beast.

al_the_drummer Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 That's absolutely superb. I have one sat in the stash - and your build has made it jump to the front of the queue. Gorgeous finish on the paintwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
