Special Hobby 1/32 Tempest Mk V "High Tech" Part 6

[@mikemontgomery2654]

Good calls on the throttle linkages. The Napier Sabre was basically two engines stacked on top of each other. Hearing the stories of the early Typhoon pilots in dealing with the Sabre is quite eye opening. It took a brave man to go into the heat of the war, even braver to do it in a Typhoon.

it’s a beast of an engine that’s for sure Mike.

[@davidroberts2777]

Really coming together beautifully

[@TheModelShed]

Hope so David 👍

[@S2Sturges]

Need the hands of a Harley Street surgeon to assemble the engine... Well done..!

That Lancaster looks a beast of a build! That’ll keep you busy for a while.

[@TheModelShed]

It’s a biggie but it’s going together really well. Aiming to get it to Telford for my club display.

Thanks Jeff

[@bignige42]

The component on the upper rear part of the engine with linkage is the Coffman Cartridge Starter…………I’m becoming worryingly nerdy about this engine…..😮😂

[@TheModelShed]

Be as nerdy as you like - it’s all part of the hobby 👍

[@Marley-k2i]

Beautiful Steve! Are you entering this at Telford too?

[@TheModelShed]

No I don’t think it will be ready - too much to do to the Bismarck and HK 1/32 Lancaster that I’m building for the show.

[@tez4274]

Steve, where do you get your Alclad 311 Klear Kote light sheen from please? TIA.

[@TheModelShed]

I don’t any more it’s too difficult to get here in the Uk. I used Tamiya clear coats on this model

[@LEESS1005]

I’m surprised that they never actually cured or solved the exhaust leak into the cockpit,so forcing the pilots to wear,oxygen masks for start to finish.

[@TheModelShed]

I’ve heard about that problem - as if flying into battle wasn’t daunting enough.

[@VA3ELX]

Standard colour from the factory for the Napier Sabre was GREEN. Not black unfortunately. Many other colours came to be after an engine overhaul in reference photos I’ve seen.

[@TheModelShed]

Does that include the sabres manufactured by EE?
