phasephantomphixer Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) From photos, can't tell much between the two. Maybe gunsight, or seat? I can get a deal on Rev-Germany 1/32 Tempest kit which i'm considering using the kit cockpit to improve the old Revell Typhoon. Further, what other areas were shared and could be adapted?

thierry laurent Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yoy can use the nose but it is the worst area of that kit. So, in practice, this is rather the propeller blades, exhausts and radiator parts. You can use the windshield and also the canopy to change the kit into a bubble top. The landing gear parts can also be used. The wings, tail and stabs were different and the fuselage was lengthened. The cockpits were close to identical.

Kagemusha Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 MDC produce a wonderful replacement cockpit for the Typhoon, as well as other goodies. John1, LSP_K2 and dennismcc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 As I have built their Typhoon kit I'll second the MDC parts Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Later bubble-canopy Typhoons were fitted with Tempest tailplanes, usually these were the ones with a four-bladed prop. Edited October 15, 2020 by MikeC autocorrect changed tailplanes to airplanes!! phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The MDC parts are very nice (I have them for my Revell kit as well as the full resin kit) but from a cost-benefit perspective, it is very probably better to get the Revell Tempest. Indeed, besides the resin wings set, the equivalent of all other MDC resin parts can be found in the SH/Revell Tempest. phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is my quest here-Thanks for the further parts use areas from the Tempest kit. I want to enhance the Tiffie and use my AM decals. I do have the MDC rocket set, and prop/spinner correction from years ago, so MDC will be in there. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Forgive my ignorance, but is the Revell Tempest a repop of the limited production Pacific Coast effort ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
