corsaircorp Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hello Dears !! Here I am again.... The more I learn about the operation Firedog, the more I'm interested !! Well, here's my almost first kit for this serie.... I say almost since it seem that Spitfire PR XIX to have been used there too.... N° 33 Sqdn in Kuala Lumpur in 1949 The planes received an Aluminium paint over but given the climate and the pace of the operations. I must one more time thank my friend Tony O'T for sharing its impressive knowledge in British aviation.... You're sorely missed Tony !! As usual, I used Alclad paints... The kit is a good one, but the building has been marred with broken or lost parts, mainly by my faults... I still have to improve the way I represent chipping and peeling... But the original paint is still visible.... And now Gents..... He who sow the wind will reap a Tempest.... Or 2.... Family pics ?? Up to you gents, Comments are welcome, bantering is mandatory.... I want to thank you all for the support !! Stay safe and enjoy modelling !! Sincerely. CC 58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Well this ticks all the boxes for me! A well made interesting subject with an aluminium paint job, weathered and worn to the level you would have expected it to look like. Very well done.

On the cowling, it look like the original plastic color popped up, but in fact, it is the ocean grey... 2 hours ago, russ c said: Fantastic Tempest there CC, love the peeling paint on the cowl. The two look great together as well Thanks Russ ! It also show the contrast between a Tempest based in Germany, patrolling the iron curtain and the other one fighting in tropical area in a not so cold war.... Thanks for the support !! Next Tempest will be a WWII one, I promised !! Sincerely. CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Your Firedog Tempest is a beaut CC, just the right amount of weathering/gunge for a hard worked aircraft in the tropics, it looks good with the V, a good looking pair.
