#HAWKER TEMPEST FREE#

The Tempest was one of the last piston-engined front line fighters demonstrating the maximum performance that could be achieved with a piston engine and propeller combination. The undersides are painted with black and yellow stripes to make it obvious that it was the tug not the target! This particular aircraft was too late for active service and spent its operational life towing targets for air-to-air gunnery practice. By the time it came into service, towards the end of the war, the German fighter forces had been decimated and it became a highly successful adversary of enemy ground troops and V1 Flying Bombs.

Built on lessons learned earlier in the conflict it was designed to be a fast, manoeuvrable, heavily armed, high altitude interceptor. The Tempest was one of the most powerful high performance fighters to see operational service in World War Two and extended the boundaries of piston-engined powered flight.

I was pleased with the result of the cockpit considering the hour or so that spent on it.īeing a WWII aircraft there are only a few parts left to put togeather from here, the two fuselage parts went togeather with the three part wing section. The instrument panel was painted mat black and then dry brushed with silver to bring out the raised detail. The Hawker Typhoon did not perform well as a fighter plane, but later served as a bombing fighter, especially when it was equipped with rocket launchers. Work started in the cockpit which had some good basic detail on the side panels and cockpit floor (didn't get a photo of this sorry) I applied the standard interior cockpit colours, then applied a dark wash which really improved the look of the detail. Here we have 3 sprues of light grey plastic which has some nice finely engraved panel details and good other detail.

The Grumman Tracker project has been sitting on my table for far too long waiting to be completed, this project was something I could do in a few days to get re-motivated and get something finished.Īcademy make some really nice WWII kits in 1/72nd scale and this one is no exception to that rule.
