Looks like a good un'..hopefully as good as the earlier Typhoon..

[@ModelMinutes]

Looks pretty good, seems to share some similar design elements as the earlier typhoon, but shame that it doesn’t have a feature like the open gun bays 😞

[@MOS6510Models]

Wonder if that was due to the scale..

[@alessiodecarolis]

This was a fighter that was (unfairly) neglected by most of the major models' producers, now seems that Airfix finally pay tribute to it with a beautiful model, don't forget that this type of fighter destroyed a LOT of V1s, saving countless lives.

[@MOS6510Models]

Really enjoying the build too

[@brucegibbins3792]

Your enthusiasm for this kit is easy to see and translates into, I gotta build one too. Hawker Typhoon and Tempest fighters for the RAF and my hometown RNZAF lack the sheer beauty of design the characterised the Supermarine Spitfire - that all others are compared to. But no others matched the muscle bound look of purpose the Typhoon and Tempest possessed. Wonderful war winning ground attack aircraft - so greatful that these fighters were on our side - or perhaps, we were on there's.

Its on the bench, started it last night,, going together well.,. instructions are a tad confusing in one place but ill put it live when its finished

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

The decals look very well produced. As you presented the sprues I was impressed with where they put the pins on the part, minimal flash, texture detail (and the wheel option). Very nice kit review mate. Cheers

[@MOS6510Models]

Thank you very much!

[@anthonychappell9409]

It's a good shout by Airfix to release this kit. It looks decent with plenty of detail. I'm looking forward to building this one.

[@MOS6510Models]

Yes a tooling for them is much needed

[@davegibson9641]

I only build 1/72 scale. This is definitely on my list to get.

[@MOS6510Models]

Really enjoying the build too

@@MOS6510Models Thank you I definitely will, got as part of my Airfix membership

[@sorvad99]

looks like a very nice kit but its annoying that you have to drill holes for the ariels and pitot, its not like they're alternate parts.

[@MOS6510Models]

Yes that was a wonder

[@markshellard5894]

Only looking at this earlier wondering if someone was going to review it 👍🏻

[@MOS6510Models]

Haha.. I try to review all new releases from airfix lol

[@52down]

Any chance for you to compare this to Kovozavody's Tempest V?

[@MOS6510Models]

i dont have it im afraid

[@joesanchez979]

It's going to look good 👍

[@MOS6510Models]

Just started tonight

[@pencilpauli9442]

Don't use the yellow decals! Thought I would try out the yellow leading edge id decals on the Tiffie and it didn't go well. lol Looks bostin! One should being winging it's way to me via my LHS Going to see if I can use spare decals to do a post war livery. Get a bit fed up doing grey/green disruptive camo lol Also on the way a couple of MkII tempests from KP! Thanks for the preview. Looking forward to the new 1/43 scale cars too.

[@MOS6510Models]

thank you.. It will go live tomorrow

'Deecalls' / 'Deckals' - ? At 68, I still call them 'transfers' - ! 😁

[@MOS6510Models]

i know.. i think both are acceptable lol

[@paintnamer6403]

I hope it becomes available at Hobby Lobby.

[@MOS6510Models]

It should be soon

[@Juno58]

Hope Airfix will make a radial engined Tempest too.

[@MOS6510Models]

They might release on with new parts

[@Juno58]

@@MOS6510Models That's what i think. Kovoszavody Prostejov announced a 1/72 Tempest mk 2 too.

I only build 2 airfix kits in my life i think i need to make more

[@MOS6510Models]

They are fun to build

Thanks

[@crazylocha2515]

Ooooh look! Fiddly bits in a purdy kit!

[@MOS6510Models]

not too bad..

[@fiftiesbinman2083]

There are just to many models, not enough time to build them and not enough space in my house to display them all.. 😁😁😁

[@MOS6510Models]

Mine are in the attic lol

[@simonleib1992]

With you on that

[@lxtechmangood9503]

Roland p Beaumont. English Electric Canberra, lightning and tsr 2 test pilot

[@MOS6510Models]

Thank you

[@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935]

I enjoyed a talk he gave about 40 years ago, the Tempest featured prominently, he said the wing shape was because the RAF demanded that it should be much closer to a Spitfire’s than a Typhoon’s or a Hurricane’s. Bee had a great test pilot career.

[@hammyhamster01]

I love that you have the Ukraine flag behind your logo!!

[@MOS6510Models]

We Stand...

[@VFCproductions]

I am eagerly awaiting mine. I won't buy from Airfix as I live close to the Hannants warehouse to give me an excuse to go

[@MOS6510Models]

Haha good shout

[@EricIrl]

This new 1/72 Airfix kit is nothing to do with the earlier Airfix 1/72 (which was just a reboxed Heller kit). The old kit was quite nice actually, but will be easilly surpassed by this brand new tooling. This is the first time Airfix has ever tooled a Tempest themselves.

[@MOS6510Models]

Did you watch the video?? I mentioned all that in the video haha
