Guest Kagemusha Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks for the update Petr, really looking forward to these kits, will the Mk.II come with rocket rails, and may I suggest maybe including markings for an aircraft which saw operational action in Malaya
petr@specialhobby Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks for the update Petr, really looking forward to these kits, will the Mk.II come with rocket rails, and may I suggest maybe including markings for an aircraft which saw operational action in Malaya Hello, thanks for your suggestion, this a/c really looks interesting. Petr
nmayhew Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Fully agree, looks very good. Just being curious, what source did you use regarding drawings? Cees Hi Petr Given there will be obvious comparisons made between your kit and that of PCM, would you be able to answer Cees' question? This in itself may answer lots of other questions people may have in the future. Also, regarding the clear fairings between wing and drop tanks that were present on the real aircraft, will these be clear on your kit / how will this be tackled? PCM has been quite innovative in this area I feel... Can't wait to see more pics when you have them. Kind regards Nick
petr@specialhobby Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 Hello Cees and Nick, I am not sure my answer will be of any help for you. We have used several sets of drawings, including that of our friends at the "4+ Publications", checked them with the Bentley set. We also cooperated with the team that is working on the real Mk.II Tempest and that kinkdly supplied us with many photos and measurements. And we also made our own drawings of various details / parts of the machine that were based on real machines photos. As for the clear fairing adjacent to the tanks, yes, there will be these parts made of clear plastic, it is partially visible on the right side of this image: 1
Wingco57 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Hi Petr, Thanks for your reply, it really helps as it gives an insight to the amount of effort your team have spent To get a good quality product. Cheers Cees 1
benjaminsummerfield Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 With all due respect to PCM, im so glad i didn't preorder their kit, ill be having a MK VI for certain! cant wait for more updates! 1
nmayhew Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Hi Petr, Any more news? Your public are keen to know! Kind regards, Nick 1
Guest Kagemusha Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Hi Petr, I've just seen on Hannants website, that there are two releases of the Mk.V, SH32049, and SH32052 Hi Tec, can you please explain what the differences are? Are there any details you can share on the Tempest kits, markings, release dates? Andy
petr@specialhobby Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 Hello friends, Do not worry, I will immediately and gladly bring you any available piece of news on the 32nd scale Tempest. So "stay tuned" here. Meantime, of course, thank you very much for your kind comments! Andy, yes, there are two various Tempest models in our schedule. And the diffference? As the "Hi Tech" designation may imply, there will be more detailed resin parts for the cockpit, also colour photo etched details and cast resin main wheels with the tread, as I have already shown it on page one of this topic. The markings will be also different, in the SH32049 box you will find these planes: NV969/SA-A, No.486 (NZ) Sqn. RAF JN862/JF-Z, No.3 Sqn. RAF EJ705/W2-X, No.80 Sqn. RAF SN165/ZD-V, No.222 Sqn. RAF while in the other, "Hi Tech" model there will be these: JN751/R-B, No. 150 Wing SN129/SA-M, No.486 (NZ) Sqn. RAF SN228/EDM, No. 122 Wing RAF JF-E, No.3 Sqn. RAF
Dave J Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I think that I will be hanging out for your Hi Tech Version Petr! I am a sucker for some resin and Photo Etch! Really glad that you are including 486 Sqn schemes in both kits!
Guest Kagemusha Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks for the update Petr, really looking forward to these kits, the detail looks sublime. Like Dave I'll be going for the Hi Tec Mk.V, will you be releasing Hi Tec versions of the Mk.II and Mk.VI, or will the Hi Tec parts be available separately like the resin wheels for the Fiat G.50? Please don't forget to include decals for NX185 O with the Mk.VI kit...
nmayhew Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Hi Petr yes, thanks for the information definietly going to be HiTech for me I reckon this one is going to be VERY popular!
Daywalker Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Really looking forward to this release- have wanted a 1/32 Tempest for a long time!
Artful69 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Hey guys ... I don't wish to appear ignorant (but I probably am anyway!!!) ... ... and it probably sounds retarded, I know, But I've only discovered the likes of PCM and HPH in the last few months!! ... MDC 2-3 years ago. Who is Special Hobby? ... Do they have a website? (I can't find one on Google) ... I have heard plenty about, and ordered, a PCM one, but I keep seeing all these pics pop up around for this Special Hobby "High Tech" job ... and there is PLENTY of love (and funding!) to have this one in the stash too!!! Also ... any other smaller manufacturers, besides this one that I REALLY should know about?? Thanks in advance Rog
nmayhew Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Special Hobby are part of the CMK group. And yes if you read Hyperscale you would perhaps be forgiven for thinking that the PCM kit I the only Tempest out this year...

I THINK I have Hyperscale in my Explorer list of favourites somewhere??? ... They do a lot of reviews or something, yes? ... Otherwise no, LSP has been my only online source of news and info ... I have pretty much discovered everything I know now (which amounts to bugger all, really) via either retail suppliers that I have used (Masterbox and miniart were discovered this way about 3 years ago), accident or LSP Forums or visiting the manufacturers websites (those that I know - most of my Dragon/Cyber Hobby stuff via frequent visits to the main pages) ... ... who is CMK? ... are there any other's that I am missing I wonder? Rog
Grant Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I'd like some HiTech versions for the shop....... I really would like to talk to you about this Petr so will drop you an email soon if I may. Grant.
petr@specialhobby Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Boys, some more Tempest photos are here. The clear canopy part is made of clear resin, just for test-fitting purposes. In the box you´ll find made of plastic (clear) of course.
nmayhew Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Looks awesome! Do you have any images yet of the hi tech resin bits etc? Many thanks Nick
Grant Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Looking really good .. can't wait to see more progress.
Guest Kagemusha Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Will the undercarriage legs of the Hi Tec version be in resin?
Dave J Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Oh boy! This looks fantastic! Glad I'm waiting and didn't rush out and buy the "other" option 2
Administrators James H Posted August 5, 2013 Administrators Posted August 5, 2013 That looks fantastic. I'd love to see the radial added if you can.
