Fishbed Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 This is the special hobby boxing of the Eduard Tempest II. Lovely kit to build, almost a perfect fit. I kept changing my mind as to which marking to finish it in, but in the end I went with the 33 squadron aluminum finish. I've now purchased an overtrees kit from Eduard so I can do one of the others with the spare decals. I tried to get the batty worn look the one photo I found of the aircraft has, where the camouflage is starting to show through the aluminum sprayed over the top. could have done more, but live and learn. And yes, the rockets should have a coloured band on them, but i wimped out at that point 🙂 Tim 53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winded Penguin Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Some really nice details you've extracted from this kit. I especially noted the 'flaps down' warning posts in the wings. Rare to see rendered in this scale, or any scale come to think of it. 👍 And also looking forward to seeing how you incorporate the learnings from this build to the future Overtrees version, if and when you post that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Looks fantastic! My favourite Typhoon successor. I always wondered how the Centaurus got enough cooling air... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not normally a fan of the Tempest but colour scheme is eye-catching. I like it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 A wonderful rendition of the Tempest II. Congrats on a job well done. And done well on a hard to make realistic metal/silver finish. Great job. Thanks for sharing your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt B Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I am a HUGE Tempest fan! I've already built an Eduard Mk. V Series 2, and have yet to build: a Mk. V Series 1, another V Series 2, the dual combo of the Mk. V (so another Series 1 and 2), and most of the Mk. IIs, the early version, the late version, the newish Ultimate Tempest, AND, last but not least, the Special Hobby kit which you've built here. So I'm always interested in seeing anyone working on or completing a Mk. II or Mk. V, and yours is beautiful! I think your detail regarding wearing through of the aluminum paint is really cool. I've been debating about which of the many Tempests I have that I will do in an aluminum finish, and now I'm thinking at least a few. Your build is an inspiration...great job!!

Winded Penguin Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Not the easiest colour to work with, but you nailed it good 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Cracking job. I really like the peeling anti-glare panel around the front. I've got this kit in the stash and got my sights set on the Indian markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
