About product

Hawker Tempest Mk.V Series 2 1:48 - Eduard

A plastic kit model of the British fighter Hawker Tempest Mk.V Series 2 in 1:48 scale from Eduard. The model captures the later production series (Series 2), in which the cannons were recessed into the leading edge of the wing - that is what sets it apart from the earlier Series 1 with protruding barrels. The exact contents of the package (decals, any photo-etch or masks) depend on the particular edition.

The real subject

The Tempest Mk.V was a British single-seat fighter powered by the powerful liquid-cooled H-configuration Napier Sabre engine. It was marked out by its thin, efficient wing and heavy armament of four 20 mm cannons. It was among the fastest Allied piston fighters at low altitude and made its name above all by intercepting V-1 flying bombs over England and by supporting the ground forces after the Normandy landings. Series 2 represented a more mature production standard of the type.

Building and painting tips

We recommend working with liquid cement for plastic and dry-fitting the fuselage and the wings before gluing. It pays to paint and accentuate the cockpit interior before closing the fuselage. An airbrush and pre-shading of the transitions suit the British camouflage; bring out the panel lines with a fine wash and do not forget the characteristic invasion identification stripes, if the chosen scheme carries them. A quality primer will improve the adhesion of the paints.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of Royal Air Force (RAF) fighters of the Second World War
  • anyone interested in machines powered by the Napier Sabre engine
  • modelers who value the differences between Series 2 and Series 1
  • more advanced and experienced builders

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