JayW 2,204 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Wow Chuck - you have done a totally bada_s aircraft a real service. It looks like it can fly away. Now how can I, a mere mortal builder, somehow compete. An inspiration man. Thanks. Edited November 26, 2020 by JayW chuck540z3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CANicoll 4,206 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm late to the party on this, but just another amazing build, Chuck - so well done! Kevin - maybe we need Chuck to do one of your build books? This Tempest is phenomenal! Chuck, I'm grateful for your excellent commentary and comments, which is as much fun as watching the build. Like you said, we are fortunate for a hobby that we can do during this pandemic, but then also have an AWESOME group of enthusiasts to share it with. It is not the same as actually being there, but it is the next best thing. chuck540z3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

chuck540z3 8,647 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Thank you everyone very, very much! This kit was exactly what I needed during this challenging pandemic, which was mostly good accuracy, but enough flaws to keep me interested in correcting them. BTW, something wasn't quite right with my original photography of the finished model, so I redid most of them, both here and the Ready for Inspection forum here: Ready for Inspection Cheers, Chuck Edited November 28, 2020 by chuck540z3 GDW, JayW and Rockie Yarwood 3 Link to post Share on other sites
crobinsonh 814 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Great build and like many others I really appreciate the time you take to document your learnings which is invaluable. chuck540z3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
chuck540z3 8,647 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Hey Guys, I am very happy to announce that KLP Publishing will soon have an eBook out on this build, to help those who want to build this kit and would like an easy to follow guide. This eBook will be in a much clearer format than sifting through all 29 pages of this thread and will go well beyond, with references and identification of aftermarket items, etc. Thanks to LSP Kevin for doing all the heavy lifting and putting this book all together! Building the Special Hobby Tempest in 1/32 Scale Cheers, Chuck Rockie Yarwood, scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander and 10 others 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites
