Learstang Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I just found this thread - beautiful work! Someone really should come out with a 1/32nd scale Tempest (both the Sabre-engined and Centaurus-engined variants). Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTail Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 A stunning job ! Nitpicking Tempests didnt have a combining glass on the gunsight. The Reticle was projected directly on to the inside surface of the wimdscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchwrma Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 +1 I wrestled with this when I built by Typhoon. The rivets are visible on the real thing, if the picture is very close up and the lighting is perfect. But I think they are far too subtle to be effectively duplicated on a model, even in 1/32. Like Kevin said, I usually include the "Dzus" fasteners that hold on the cowls and such. Not only are they larger and more prominent than the rivets, they tend to have the paint chipped around them as well. Hi, guys! I'm building the Eduard's 1/48 version of this plane. And when researching for the building, I discovered that the tempest planes have not rivets in the surface. all the rivets and some of the panel lines was puttied and sanded smoot in the factory, to create a laminar flux surface, as they did in the P51 Mustang. I found a lot of pictures of tempests, but never found one with rivets in the plane's surface. I intended to do a 1/32 tempest in the future, but I intend to do with the hobbycraft Sea Fury, only changing the front(motor case) who will be done by scratch... About the job, its awesome! Its great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 We have a Typhoon rear fuselagesection on display the museum originating from RB397. Plenty of rivets but they are flush, no putty to be seen. Hope this helps. We cannot have too many Tempest models here on LSP. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A340 Pilot Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Fantastic project! But nitpicking: Tempests, and late production Typhoons had Night (Black) cockpits. Probably with silver painted tubular steel structures. If I understand Chris Thomas correctly. Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
