Hawker Tempest

Hawker Tempest IIfirst flight post restoration

This is the only flyable Hawker Tempest II in the world. The Tempest was the biggest, most powerful, fastest British fighter of World War II and the last World War II RAF fighter to see combat, flying in the Malayan Emergency 1948-51, when [...]

Eduard Tempest T.T.Mk.5, 1/48, 'A Jet Age Training Aide'

A long time ago I completed a dual build of Eduard's Royal Class Tempest Mk.V set, it was among the first airbrushed models I did and I was very proud of the jump in quality between those Tempests and the builds prior. That set, like all [...]

Tempest Mk. V: Airfix 1/72

This is my interpretation of Wing Commander ‘Bee’ Beamont’s Tempest Mk. V, a plane he test-piloted for Hawker before flying it into combat with incredible skill, flipping V-1s amongst other acts of unbelievable daring. I hope he [...]

Airfix 1/72 Hawker Tempest MK.V Post War

I have to compliment Airfix on a beautifully engineered little kit. It's been thought out and fits like a dream. The undercarriage have big chunky attachment points that allow a solid fit but are hidden away. Primed with Tamiya Neutral [...]

Eduard 1/48 Tempest V

Although not Eduard's finest model, it is still the best model in the market. Quite a few areas require filling the seams and re-scribing the fine panel lines. Nonetheless, the model is well detailed and captures the characteristic Hawker [...]

Special Hobby 1/32 Tempest V & VI

I was quite happy with my Eduard kits representing the magnificent Tempest. A price drop provided a good excuse to check if size matters. Well, it does. Being a limited run kit, assembly requires much part test fitting. Fortunately for [...]

Eduard 1/48 Tempest MK2

Here is the big brother to my Tempest MKV. This was the first eduard kit I built and I really enjoyed it! I loved the addition of the photo etched parts and the pre cut mask set was just the job! I did however mess up on the fuselage [...]
