thierry laurent Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Faster, faster. No please! I understand the will to get it but if you want a Tempest right now, the PCM is available. I have it and this is a nice kit. However, what MPM is doing is stunning and the kit will be above expectations if they go on this way. There is no need to hurry if this penalizes the quality of the final product... Modeling is a school of patience...even before getting the kit ;-) Zero77, wrbrdmech and mozart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Some of the moulds have been cut, so it's getting closer http://www.mpmkits.net/2015/03/tempest-132-prace-na-formach.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamF Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Didn't understand that last picture. That mould is not metal by the looks of things and the milling cutter seems to have just done a mock up of the injection sprues in clear acrylic?

Out2gtcha Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 At first I was going to post that it looked like metal to me, and that the reflections looks like metal, but the more I studies the pics, the marks the milling machine left, and especially the "dust" left after the process definitely now look like thick clear acrylic.

Kagemusha Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is what the text says; "Two purely documentary photographs document the work on galvanic forms for Tempest. (Photographed through the plexiglass cover dusty millers, from which, moreover, bounced flash)" Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 No doubt makes more sense in the original Czech, least I'd hope so, main thing is it's progressing, need to start saving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 "Two pics to show the on-going work on the molds (taken though the milling machine's protection Plexiglas, full of milling shavings, and moreover with a flash reflection in the glass" Not that I speak Czech, but some interpretation helps to sort out the Google-translate gibberish ... Buts as the italians say "Tradutore, tradittore" Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrbrdmech Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Just my two cents but I applaud MPM for trying to go to the next level on this kit and am willing to wait til they are happy with the product they want to present. I will definitely be supporting their effort with my wallet. Can't complain that the Tempest just happens to be one of my favorite aircraft. How lucky we are to be Modelers in this era of kits we never thought we'd see. Cheers Shane Edited April 10, 2015 by wrbrdmech Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Yeah.... I get frustrated with the seemingly endless delays, but when/if the kit is released there is no doubt I will be buying it. It looks too good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Who cares the delay if the kit is great ? I love MPM and the kind of short runs they do. Not always the simplest builds, but rare and interestings subjects at a good price, with a nice level of details and no need for aftermarket.
