About product

Hawker Tempest 1:72, the boxing with photo-etch

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British Hawker Tempest fighter in 1:72 scale, in an extended boxing that adds photo-etched parts to the plastic. Photo-etch usually brings the fine components that plastic cannot capture at this scale, that is the cockpit interior, the belts and small covers.

The real subject

The Tempest grew out of the earlier Typhoon, on which the thick wing was replaced with a new, considerably thinner one. That improved the behavior at high speed, which had previously limited how the machine could be used. It was powered by the Napier Sabre, an unusual piston design with its cylinders arranged in an H-block and with sleeve valves. The armament consisted of four twenty millimeter wing cannons. Tempests were among the fastest British machines at low altitude and proved themselves intercepting flying bombs and attacking ground targets.

Building and painting tips

Bend the photo-etched parts over a metal edge and bond them with super glue. Finish the interior before you close the fuselage. With older tooling expect to have to try the parts dry and fill the joints. British schemes have hard edges between the camouflage fields, which come out well with masking. Do not forget the prominent recognition stripes if you are building a machine from the summer of 1944.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of British fighters of the Second World War.
  • Modelers who will appreciate photo-etch in the basic package.
  • Builders with experience who can handle older tooling.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Photo-etched parts, which capture the fine components better than plastic at this scale.

The Napier Sabre, a piston engine with its cylinders arranged in an H-block and with sleeve valves.

In its considerably thinner wing, thanks to which the behavior at high speed improved.

Rather not. It is older tooling supplemented with photo-etch, so expect to try the parts dry and to use filler.
