One-Oh-Four Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Hmmmmmmm! I have bought the Pacific Coast Tempest, but I think I will also be buying your model after all!!....
petr@specialhobby Posted October 21, 2014 Author 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
Wingco57 Posted October 22, 2014 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
Guest Kagemusha Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I agree with Cees, I've no doubt Arthur Bentley researched the Tempest thoroughly.
Administrators James H Posted October 22, 2014 Administrators 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?
petr@specialhobby Posted October 24, 2014 Author 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

petr@specialhobby Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 New pictures with some parts of our 1/32 Tempest: Mk.VI radiator and dust filter http://www.mpmkits.eu/2015/02/tempest-in-132-parts-for-mkvi-version.html U/c doors: http://www.mpmkits.eu/2015/02/tempest-in-132-parts-for-mkvi-version.html
Administrators James H Posted February 16, 2015 Administrators 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?
petr@specialhobby Posted April 9, 2015 Author 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
Administrators James H Posted April 9, 2015 Administrators Posted April 9, 2015 Very impressive Petr. Any idea of a rough time of release, after delays? 1
petr@specialhobby Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Hi all, We are really happy now as we can show you the very first sprue of the 32nd scale Tempest already injected - the clear parts. For more photos, follow this link please: http://www.mpmkits.eu/2015/06/132-scale-tempest-kit-first-sprue-clear.html 3
Administrators James H Posted June 18, 2015 Administrators Posted June 18, 2015 Petr, That looks very good. How far is this off release now, and did you receive my email? Cheers, Jim
Wingco57 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Those underwing lights look very nice. Slowly but surely....... I am looking forward to building a mk II. Cees
petr@specialhobby Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 Hi all, We are very happy to be able to show you some progress with the Tempest kit. The main parts moulds are almost ready for production, as you can see in our blog: http://www.mpmkits.eu/2015/09/132-tempest-moulds-work-in-progress.html 4
Administrators James H Posted September 24, 2015 Administrators Posted September 24, 2015 I really can't wait to see this! Thanks for sharing with us.
Wingco57 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Same here , also nice to see the process of development and manufacturing a kit. Cees
mgbgtv8steve Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Really good progress - at last! Is it too much to hope you'll have this on show at Telford this year?! Regards, Steve S.
DLEVETT Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Hi guys, Been lurking on the forum for some time but just have to comment on how very pleased I am to see progress on this model. Having a SB MkII along side my MkV from PCM is going to be awesome. i may even get a second SB Tempest to complete as a MkVI Dave
Wingco57 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Hi Dave, Welcome to LSM. Good to see you finally took the step. Make yourself at home here. Cees
