R Palimaka Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Saw a note over on one of the other sites that Special Hobby has announced a Tempest V for 2013!!! I can't believe it has taken this long!! Here is the box-top artwork, and a link that doesn't seem to be working at the moment, but I'll keep trying: http://www.modelforu...381985#p1381985 Edited December 19, 2012 by R Palimaka Saber and A340 Pilot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Great news Richard! The box art image also perfectly illustrates the wing leading edge colour I was banging on about in my Spitfire thread. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 WOOHOO! Sure hope the tail doesn't end up 5mm too short, etc! And I can get a hold of one-Super! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTR Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Well, if the P-39 is bad, I heard some real terrible stuff about their Hawks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Great news Richard! The box art image also perfectly illustrates the wing leading edge colour I was banging on about in my Spitfire thread. Kev It's great news for a lot of people I think, this is the one kit I've been waiting for for ages!! There have been rumours for a while, glad to see it confirmed. I absolutely love the Tempest, such a powerful brute of an aircraft with gorgeous lines. I would love to have a print of that artwork too! And you're right Kevin, that does show the yellow to good advantage. It's a very deep yellow for certain. You can't see it, but I'm jumping for joy here!! And I've also got the Silver Wings P.11c to look forward to. Gonna be a good year, unless the Mayans are right! Thrilled, absolutely thrilled.

scvrobeson Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! Can't believe they are finally producing the Tempest. I have to get one. Have. To. Hopefully it won't be too crazy expensive, I'm willing to go to about $80 for this thing, but not much above that. Can't wait! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 When they follow up with a Typhoon, I'll be doubly delighted. Saber and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hopefully they get around to releasing their 1/48 He-115 as well in the next year. In their October newsletter, it was listed as "next month's releases", and now the December newsletter, it's gone to "forthcoming release". I really want to build one of those, so they need to hurry up! Yes, maybe a Typhoon will follow, although there are a lot of differences between the two planes, right?

jozef Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yes, they told that also at Bratislava Winter show. But the Yak-3 will be first. Jozef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
