Tempest Mk.V "Doodle-bug Hunters"

During the air battles of World War II, both warring sides had to react to the introduction of new, more powerful types of enemy aircraft. The deployment of the new German Fw 190 fighter in 1941 not only brought the rather hasty development of new versions of the Spitfire fighter, but also accelerated the introduction of the new Hawker Typhoon Mk.I fighters into regular service. The introduction of the Typhoons was very complicated and, since it soon became clear that the Typhoon had certain limitations as a fighter, Hawker's chief designer, Sydney Camm, began the development of an improved version. Due to the number of changes, this new fighter was named Tempest. And it became one of the best fighters of World War II.
The plastic parts are broken down into eight sprues of grey plastic and one clear parts sprue, joined with 3D printed radar parts and radiator protection, combining 3D printed parts and etches. The surface of large parts is covered with fine rivets. Detailed colour instructions in A4 format will guide you through the construction of the model. The instructions and two decal sheets offer a choice of four Tempest colour schemes, depicting machines whose pilots achieved V-1 missile kills. These are American, New Zealander, British and Polish.
