About product

Pilot Tempest 1:32 — a figure of an RAF pilot from Plusmodel

A resin figure of a pilot of the Royal Air Force in 1:32 scale from the production of the Czech manufacturer Plusmodel, intended above all for models of the Hawker Tempest fighter. The figure gives a model scale and a human dimension; an aircraft with a pilot beside it suddenly tells a story instead of merely showing off a machine.

The real subject

At the end of the Second World War the Hawker Tempest was among the highest performing fighters of the RAF; it excelled at low altitude, chased V-1 flying bombs and destroyed targets on the ground. Its pilots wore the typical British flying kit: a flight suit or battledress, a life vest, a flying helmet with goggles and a parachute harness. It is exactly these details that make a well painted figure the jewel of a display case.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin figure free of the mold release agent, cut the casting blocks off carefully and glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue. Apply a primer before painting so that the colors hold well. Build the uniform up from a base shade, shadows in the folds and fine highlights on the edges; acrylic paints for figures or oils are ideal. Bring the face to life with fine transitions of flesh tones; in 1:32 scale there is enough room for it.

Who the figure is for

  • Builders of models of the Hawker Tempest and British fighters in 1:32
  • Modelers who want to add a human element to an aircraft
  • Figure painters interested in the aviation theme of the Second World War

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

FAQ

Yes, the period kit of an RAF pilot fits other British fighters of the end of the Second World War in 1:32 scale as well.

The exact pose is not stated here; it is worth comparing the casting with period photographs of aircrew.

After a primer we recommend acrylic paints for figures or oils; shadows and highlights in the folds will give the uniform depth.
