Hello Artur…My compliments on a beautiful, well detailed Hawker Tempest. Great photography too and I’d love to see a shot of the entire aircraft to go along with the 21 detail shots you posted. Quite an outstanding build.

Very atmospheric photographs of a very nice model. I appreciate it’s difficult to take pictures of what must be a pretty large model, but it would be nice to see the complete aircraft in one go! Your posting is made even more interesting as a terrific tribute to your great uncle.

Really nice wash, bringing out the rivets, and exhaust stains.

It looks a beauty – how was the kit – did you have any problems with it?

A very personal model done to perfection. Artur, I like how you weathered the landing gear wheels and the rivet detail seems to stand out with out being too over powering. The exhaust stains is well done. Over all a “Goldie Locks” build in my book.
Two thumbs up.
