SH Tempest Shopping list

The Hi-Tec kit seems to have most of what you would want in terms of resin and photo etch as standard. Yahu do a wonderful IP and CK do a metal cored resin undercarriage and resin exhaust- Ive bought both for mine and they look great. Other than that, cant see what else you could buy unless you were looking to do some sort of a conversion, in which case you can get a full engine, firewall and panels from AA productions.

Wheels and parts of interior are already resin, its got a good photo etch IP as standard- its a beautiful kit!

In my opinion the resin MLG legs are not necessary. They offer only slightly more detail and are not as thick as the kit legs and, as a result, are more flexible. I've held them both and tested their flexibility and the kit supplied plastic parts are more rigid and they offer plenty of detail as they are. Had I known I would have saved the $20 for something else. Just my opinion.

Hi Dave

 

I respectfully disagree, when I first clapped eyes on the kit, it was the first thing I noticed.  To me it just 'looked wrong' Then a couple of other modelers picked up on it and when you lay the nose over scale factory lofts and compare to photos the nose is waaay out.

 

True, not everyone will notice it, but to some of us it is a glaring error that needs fixing.  I believe that reading his FB posts the nose is finished and he is wrestling with the blades and hoping to get them to the Nats for viewing.

 

Cheers

Anthony

I built it a few months ago, and it doesnt need a lot of stuff as it's pretty detailed from the box. I just added the resin exhaust (but the plastic ones are not so bad), and the resin gear legs. They are not metal reinforced but just made with a strong resin. Not a must have in my opinion, and not as easy to glue than the plastic gear legs.
