The Post-War Hawker Tempest V
The Tempest V stands as a marvelous example of Hawker Aviation design. Renowned for its exceptional speed, agility and firepower, the Napier Sabre engine gave the Tempest V remarkable performance at low and medium altitudes.
This is the Airfix 1/72 scale post-war version with markings for two aircraft stationed in Germany after WW 2. I decided to make the High Speed Silver one and, while there are a few little mistakes due to operator errors, was pleased with the overall results.
Looks excellent, Scott!
Definitely looking bigger than 1/72!
Always a compliment when it looks bigger. Thanks, Spiros!
I love this kit and you did a marvelous job with it, Scott @guitarhack5 ! May i ask what colors you used? The nmf is pristine.
Thanks Felix! I used Mr Color Base White as my primer and Mr Color Silver through my airbrush.
Nice job, Scott!
It looks great, Scott, the Typhoon and the Tempest are easily the best looking fighters from WW2 in my opinion, and your model confirms it.
A wonderful result, Scott @guitarhack5
This NMF scheme looks really good.
Quite a nice looking build, Scott.
Looks great! Seems like a nice kit - I may have to pick one up, as I've only built the Academy 1/72 Tempest.
Nicely done Scott (@guitarhack5) 😀
Looks great. The bear metal looking effect is superb!
