About product

Hawker Tempest Mk.II late version (1:48, Eduard ProfiPACK)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British Hawker Tempest Mk.II fighter in its late form, in 1:48 scale from the Czech maker Eduard. This is the ProfiPACK edition, which adds pre-painted photo-etched parts, self-adhesive painting masks and a generous decal sheet with several marking options to the quality plastic, aimed among others at the postwar users in the RAF, Pakistan and India. The model can be built in detail straight out of the box.

The real subject

The Tempest was a British low-wing fighter developed from the Hawker Typhoon, notable for its high speed at low and medium altitudes and for its heavy armament. While the best-known Mk.V was powered by the Napier Sabre H-24 engine, the Mk.II version received the air-cooled Bristol Centaurus radial engine, which gave it a different, more robust nose. The Mk.II did not see significant action in the Second World War and made its mark above all in postwar service.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts off the sprues and glue them with liquid modeling cement for plastic. Apply the pre-painted photo-etched parts to the cockpit before closing the fuselage and mask the glazing with the masks provided. Apply primer and the paints with an airbrush, transfer the decals over a gloss coat and pick the panel lines out with a wash. On postwar machines clean, strong colors and careful shading of the panels pay off.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of RAF fighters and of their postwar users
  • Anyone interested in the radial-engined Tempest Mk.II
  • Modelers who will appreciate photo-etched parts and masks in the box
  • Builders with basic and with more advanced experience in 1:48 scale

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

FAQ

While the Mk.V was powered by the Napier Sabre H-24 engine, the Mk.II version received the air-cooled Bristol Centaurus radial engine and with it a markedly different, more robust nose.

ProfiPACK adds pre-painted photo-etched parts, self-adhesive painting masks and a decal sheet with several marking options to the quality plastic. It lets you build a detailed model without buying accessories.

This late version release aims above all at postwar service: besides the RAF it offers machines from Pakistan and India. Check the exact choice of schemes against the packaging.
