Bomber_County Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Finished this up about a month ago. It’s the Special Hobby Tempest V “hi tech”. No aftermarket a true OOB build. This is my first 32nd I’ve finished since returning and the second in line after the Tamiya Corsair ( to be finished). This build I have to admit fought me from day one, not sure if that was my incompetence or the kit. Anyway it even threw me a curve ball at the final hurdle when laying down the decals, they silvered ......That was when I decided enough was enough and I hereby present my not so perfect build. Unfortunately I’d started this before I came over to LSM so did very few in progress shots as would never had put it up for public scrutiny at that time. Gladly that has changed. Feel free to comment as that’s how we all learn in the end of the day. thanks for looking, stay safe, stay well......Phil. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks Rob, I think we are all our own worst critics, I know I am. I guess that’s why I am such a slow builder....... if Martin does announce one, it will not be the SH for me...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SH has its flaws but is the newest mould out there. Some people say the nose is all wrong etc etc etc.....but in the end of the day if it looks the part, I’m happy......thanks for the kind compliment.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 8, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 8, 2020 Beautiful build on a tough kit, Phil! Bloody brilliant, that. We’re not worthy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Ernie, thank you, very much appreciated, this was only my 2nd LSM, no wonder it nearly broke me. Ironically having put it on the shelf way back when, I did loads of AFV to compensate.......now back on the flying things again........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
