petr@specialhobby Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hello, I´d like to ask for a help here, we are (yes, slowly) finishing our pattern-model for the 1/32 Hawker Tempest Mk.II / V / VI. Now we have a problem with the Mk.VI´s underbelly air-filter fairing (see drawing below) which we´d like to portray correctly, but alas we have no photos for this detail. There are two sets of drawings available to us, these attached below and also a wonderful set from Mr. Bentles Each drawing is, sadly, depictiong this fairing differently. We would really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!Petr / MPM Production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Petr, I would advise you to trust Al Bentley's set of drawings as he is one if not the most respected draughtsmen around. His attention to detail is very high. Hope this helps, Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagemusha Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I agree with Cees, I've no doubt Arthur Bentley researched the Tempest thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted October 22, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2014 Maybe look at the Airfix part will help? This was no doubt worked from Arthur Bentley's drawing. I have a spare filter if you want me to send it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr@specialhobby Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hello all, yes, it seems we will have to rely on the Bentley´s drawings. James, are you sure that the filter used on the Typhoon was the same as on Mk.VI Tempests? If so, I am sure that the Airfix part will help us a lot. But no need to send it, just a couple of photos would do. Thank you in advance. Petr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James H Posted February 16, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2015 Petr, Those look spectacular. The inner gear door and exterior surface detail on that nose cowl are just perfect. How long before this is now released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petr@specialhobby Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hi guys, we have also another projects underway besides the 32nd scale Tempest, so there still is some delay with the model. However, small update is available for you today, it concerns the wheel bay area of the plane. One picture of the 3D computer model here, more at our blog: http://www.mpmkits.eu/2015/04/132-tempest-undercarriage-bay.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted April 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 9, 2015 Very impressive Petr. Any idea of a rough time of release, after delays? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
