Title: Bare metal Hawker Tempest V
Post by: Jicehem on October 18, 2008, 03:50:34 PM

Hi all,

Here the Academy's Hawker Tempest V in 1/72 scale.
This plane belonged to RAF 501 Squadron in Ocotber 1944 and was one of the few that had their camo-paints removed to fight against the V1 flying bombs.

This is my version of the Academy 1/48 scale Tempest in the colours of the French ace Pierre Closterman.
I built this kit some 10-12 years ago.

And the last shot: as always; cat in the house!!//

Kitty is a problem cat we took over from one of our neighbours last year after our own two Persians had passed away. She had a 'sanitary'-problem when in companion with her two sister-cats, but alone she is now quite content in our house without her previous problem. Cat is almost three years old now.

Huuh, I did not know for your two cats. Sorry for that.

Just to return to topic- Jicehen is painted this kit marvelous and no need to say how hard is to hand brush silver color. Real master work!
