Tempest Mk.V Tribute build

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

I've decided to build this one next as my mom gave me the money to buy this from the Cosford show earlier this year.

It looks like a really nice kit with resin cockpit, PE details and masks.

So heres the required box and sprue shots.

Me as well, been trying to score one on evil bay but the price skyrockets quickly! Looking forward to seeing it build out!

Cockpit is coming on very nicely. This is a mean looking powerful brute of an aircraft that does not get showcased enough. Keep up the great work.

Cracking job on the cockpit. Well done.

Well made a little progress, the really gutting thing is now I cant see any of the detail I put into the cockpit !

Few minor fills to do but hope to be ready to shoot the paint for tomorrow.

Coming on nicely Adrian.Ive got the resin rear fuselage aftermarket set for mine.The 'experts' reckon the kits fuselage is too short.But ive measured the difference and reckon its only about 1/16 inch.So not really worth the surgery involved.But as ive bought it i will use it.

Nice to see this one built. I like the Tempest but do see what you mean about the cockpit. That's a bit of a small opening to see into.

Well I'm ready to paint it, got the grey down and now trying to match Dark green in Tamiya paints as thats what I work in, the one I have is XF 61 but it see,s a little too dark when compared to the paint chart, the guide says H73 so anyone able to give me a Tamiya matching paint?

D-Day stripes in place, though I noticed I didnt spray the light grey on the under carriage flaps and the black bled a tiny bit, will touch them up soon as paint has gone off fully.

Well I did the camo using blue tak, normally I use free hand but for this build it needed sharper lines, so thanks all for the tips I saw else wehere for this.

I'll have to tone down the exhaust a little as it seems alittle bright

Comments and advice always welcomed.
