modelman182 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Beautiful Build, Libor. Nice clean airframe with subtle weathering, just looks perfect! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLP Publishing Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have no choice but to agree with the other Kev. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Just love the highlighting of the panel lines and rivetting. Excellent build! MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A H Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Wow, that's absolutely excellent! May I ask what paint/varnish you used for the silver finish? It looks perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old VG 33 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hi Libor You've made another star with this Tempest. You say out of the box but I think you made the rivetting. I like very much the metal finish. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 That's a great build in any scale Libor, but in 1/72 scale that's a bit special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have no choice but to agree with the other Kev.Kev And you can add a third Kev to the list of Kevs who think that's a great build. Really stunning work Libor. I always felt the Tempest Mk. II was the best looking member of the Tempest line. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have to agree with everybody else....this Tempest is beautiful....I especially like the faint rivet detail and Frank Carey (whose personal aircraft this was) would be proud of you...Fantastic!!

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Quite superb! If you hadn't mentioned the scale, I would have been convinced that it was 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Libor, dude, that is most righteous! Absolutely. Not only great modelling, but excellent photography, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Yep, very nice, and as the others have said, it really looks bigger than 1/72. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goon Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 There's no way every inch of that model represents six foot of the subject! I mean, just look at the rivets..... Superb Libor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Many thanks to everone and greetings to all Kevs! On to the questions: - it was sprayed with mix of Alclad II Semi-matte Aluminium and Gunze light grey and at the end it get a light overspray of Semi-matte lacquer varnish - from the building point of view the kit is not particularly easy, especially fit of the wing to fuselage is really bad I forgot to mention, as Tony OT pointed out, it is W/C Frank Carey personal machine based in 1948 in Fassberg, Germany.
