Wingco57 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hi all, Here is the completed Tempest which as a sample was reviewed by Jeroen Peters and me Here on LSM ( and LSP) Last year. Although a great kit, it gave me fits sometimes because of il- fitting Parts such as the cockpit and the canopy. Nothing that couldn't be solved though. The result is a very good representation of Hawkers finest. Apart from the wheels, which were replaced By Barracuda items, the kit was built from the box. You can find the work in progress here: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1271-pcm-hawker-tempest-v/ Hope you like it. I know I do.

Administrators James H Posted June 12, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2014 Love it! I wish I had chance to see this when I visited Holland. Now, are you going to do the Special Hobby kit too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphSarc Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Fantastic Cees! Love the look. I have a Revell Hawker Typhoon that I'm looking forward to building this year so you've given my some inspiration! Ralph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks Ralph, Actually the Revell Typhoon is next in line. Always wanted the classic Hawker trio Sea Fury, Tempest And Typhoon. I have two out of three now. Perhaps the Hurricane should join them too. Cheers Cees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
