Eduard 1:48 Tempest Mk. V upgrade set is a photo-etched accessory set for refining a model of the Hawker Tempest Mk. V fighter in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit but an accessory for one.
Responsibility details are not available.
A photo-etched set from the Czech maker Eduard intended for refining a plastic model of the Hawker Tempest Mk. V fighter in 1:48 scale. The set replaces the parts that cannot be made thin enough in injection-molded plastic - the instrument panel and side consoles of the cockpit, the seat restraint belts, grilles, covers and small sheet-metal details of the airframe. The package holds a photo-etched fret, not an aircraft model; the base kit has to be bought separately.
The Hawker Tempest Mk. V was a British fighter of the end of the Second World War, derived from the Typhoon design but given a new wing with a thinner profile and the Napier Sabre H-block engine. It stood out for its speed at low altitude, was heavily armed with cannon and made its mark both chasing fast targets and attacking ground targets. The cockpit with its good view and characteristic canopy shape is one of the features the photo-etched set brings out most.
Nip the photo-etched parts out with a scalpel on a hard base. The plastic originals the photo-etch replaces have to be sanded away first - otherwise the set will not seat. Make the bends in a bender or between two blades so that the edge is crisp. Color-printed parts are not sprayed over; the rest of the photo-etch is best degreased and primed with a metal primer before painting. It is bonded with thin super glue applied in a minimal amount, ideally with a wire. Fit and paint the cockpit details before the fuselage is closed.
The set is supplied unassembled. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
