Alan Clark’s stunning Hawker Tempest
Posting the first article on a new site takes a lot of deliberation, as one would very much like it to be reflective of the site's vision. I can find no better object to inaugurate iModeler with than this, the magnificent 1/16 scale scratchbuilt Hawker Tempest Mk. V by acclaimed British modeler Alan Clark.
It is one of the very best modeling creations I have had a pleasure of seeing over the years. To me, a model like this epitomizes all the joy, creativity and achievement that scale modeling has to offer. I probably cannot ever hope to produce results of this quality myself, but it doesn't matter: I'm certain that my humble modeling projects bring as much joy and satisfaction to me as this model did to its author.

I think Alan's Tempest was a good choice! Nice to see it again.

I've seen it before and yet it is a model you can just keep looking at and still be amazed.
This is modeling on another level - totally amazing
Wow, that is an impressive piece of scale model art.
One day...
Stunning example of a scratchbuilding art!
Excellent, I only wish
Truly magnificrnt. Did he do the Mk1 Spitfire in Hendon too?
Alan Clark, my favourite modeller, I wish he would release a book explaining his scratchbuilding techniques.
Truly gorgeous!
