Dream come true...finally a 1/32 Tempest V!!

[R Palimaka]

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:

Interesting news.........

Great news Richard! The box art image also perfectly illustrates the wing leading edge colour I was banging on about in my Spitfire thread.

WOOHOO! Sure hope the tail doesn't end up 5mm too short, etc! And I can get a hold of one-Super!

Well, if the P-39 is bad, I heard some real terrible stuff about their Hawks...

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.

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!

When they follow up with a Typhoon, I'll be doubly delighted.

This is indeed great news! This also means that I'm going to end up buying a special hobby kit after i swore off of limited run kits

[Pete G.]

Oh HECK yeah! I am all over this one. Bring it on!

 

[Troy Molitor]

Brilliant! been waiting forever for this bird.

[Daywalker]

Oh yeah... I'm in for at least one too!

[Out2gtcha]

Coooooooooooooooooool!

 

Ill buy one for sure!

[scvrobeson]

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?

Yes, they told that also at Bratislava Winter show. But the Yak-3 will be first.
