Editorial Review This aircraft was originally intended to be an improved version of the RAF Typhoon but since the redesign ended up being so extensive, the airplane was re-named the Hawker Tempest. The Tempest proved to be a fast and capable fighter that distinguished itself in lateWWII as one of the few fighters capable of intercepting the V-1 flying bombs as well as challenging the new German ME-262 jet fighters. Minicraft offers the Hawker Tempest V in 1/144 scale for the first time in many years. It includes new markings for 2 RAF aircraft and optional parts to display the aircraft either on the ground or in flight. Paint colors needed: Interior Green-Gray, Flat Black, Yellow, Aluminum, RAF Dark Green, RAF Ocean Gray, RAF Medium Gray, RAF SKy Type S, Black, White, Red, and Blue.
Features 1) Position-able landing gear 2) Building options includes "in flight" with simulated "spinning propellers". 3) Decal and painting options for 2 RAF aircraft. 4) Illustrated instructions 5) Skill level 2 kit
