Revell 1/32 Hawker Tempest V

[Vaughan]

Well I've managed to complete this one relatively fast for me in just a month. No real issues with this one. The only thing I added was some pre-painted harnesses from Eduard as Revell supplied decals which are impossible to use. No fit issues, all in all a nice kit.

Great model Vaughan!

Lovely job and very nicely photographed.

Great job Vaughan.

It's a lovely representation of an often overlooked aircraft. It somehow manages to look modern and menacing and slightly old fashioned at the same time!

Excellent build Vaughan. This is on my 'to get' list.

 

[Ian M]

That turned out very nice Vaughan. Nice to see one in this scale too.

Love the presentation and the clean build. Great work Vaughan, one for the top shelf

 

[colin m]

A great model of a very purposeful looking aircraft.

 

[Vaughan]

Thanks guys for all your comments, it was a great kit to build, I would highly recommend it. It's currently £39.49 on Amazon.

A great result Vaughan. It’s the Special Hobby tooling isn’t it? It’s tempting.

 

[Vaughan]

Yes Barry it is minus the photo etch and resin extras, but still worth the money. Steve built the Special Hobby version a few years back. there are some differences mine has the canons but otherwise the same.

As Vaughan says, I built the same kit (just with a few bells and whistles in my boxing) and found it a very nice kit indeed. I would certainly second his recommendation.

If you are looking for a WW2 subject after you thrash that big old Hurricane into submission you won't go far wrong with one of these! Plus, it's always good to see someone else's take on a kit you've already built.

Cheers

Steve

I am thinking about a Revell me262 next Steve. See how that compares to the Trumpy one. Not decided yet. By the way, the big Hurricane is a joy and needs no thrashing, it really wants to be built....

 

[Vaughan]

Barry I've not read any reviews on the Revell kit but builds on the Internet look good your Hurricane is looking good were the engine cowling the clear plastic one?

Here's the Tempest and He219 on the wall.
