1/48 Eduard Tempest Part II
« on: February 14, 2013, 03:24:18 AM »
Some months back No.1 built an Eduard Tempest V. Thanks to Eduard :-flo and Srecko :-flo I have also started one of these. Not much has gotten done yet but I did trim the pour stubs and other small amount of flash off of the resin cockpit components. Then these got a bath to clean any possible mold release.

I must say that this looks like it will be quite fun to build. The Tempest is HUGE compared to the tiny Bf 109s I've been building and I had to find extra space on the workbench to fit all the parts! :-eek

The next step was to work with some of the landing gear items, including adding the beautiful photoetched parts. These fit so nicely and really add detail to the gearwells and doors.

I especially couldn't believe how wonderful the tailwheel doors are to fabricate. Even the small hemispherical fairing bump is so easy to shape since the PE is designed for it.

I have thought about the Luftwaffe machine but do any actual photos exist? This would be a great looking paint scheme.

Progress so far has been limited to assembling the wing elements and spraying the interior green for cockpit and wheelwells:
