Airfix 1/72 Hawker Tempest Full Build New Tool - Great Kit!!

Airfix 1/72 Hawker Tempest Full Build New Tool - Great Kit!! One of Airfix Best Kit for 2022
So here is my build of the Brand New Airfix Hawker Tempest 1/72 scale model kit.. Its it fantastic.. I really enjoyed building this kit and its a really nice well made kit to build and paint. I had fun building this new tool Hawker Tempest.

There is no doubt that the Hawker Tempest V was a real brute of an aeroplane, fast, heavily armed and possessing performance which could better any fighter the Luftwaffe had in service, perhaps with the exception of the Me262 at full speed. Pilots who had experience flying both the Tempest V and its predecessor, the Typhoon, describe the difference as being like night and day - they actually said that it was like comparing a cart horse with a race horse. Although this seems a little harsh, as they flew the aircraft in combat, we should certainly bow to their judgement. Although appearing relatively late in WWII, the Tempest V still takes its place as one of the most effective piston engined fighters of the Second World War and was perhaps the '˜Super Hurricane'™ designer Sydney Camm had always envisaged developing.

Yep, worth investing in good low-tack masking tape.... Don't worry, I've been at this hobby over fifty years and with every build - EVERY BUILD - I learn something new.


Best from NZ.

Cracking outcome. It does look like an 'easy' build but you've done it proud. You've persuaded me to add it to the wishlist.

[celticwest]

You're a brave man, getting those big decals to stick as well as they did! I would have spray painted the stripes because mine would have been bubbles R us. Nice job.

It’s been almost two months since I’ve ordered mine. I actually drank some tea whilst watching this no joke.

[stuartwren]

Looks good. Must get one of these. A really chunky plane that looks like it means business. Peak of prop driven aircraft. Nice video.

[lewispowell]

When i use tape i soak it off with a wet sponge to avoid stripping, its a bit of a faff but ive had every type of tape strip paint before

[mikedietrich]

There is nothing better than getting and building a kit you have been waiting for or looking for forever 😁. Nice job on a nice kit 👍

[bugler]

Nice review, it looks like a lovely model to build.
Weathering is to everyone’s individual taste but if done in scale then normally you won’t see very much.
Much like panel lines!
All the best everyone, Ian

[paulwiltshire]

I want to build it, I am going to put this on my shopping list

[christosswc]

I love building models, painting is a chore, I don't enjoy it but can't argue with the results so do it anyway.
Weathering?
Pin wash and I'm done pretty much, can't be arsed any further.
I leave that stuff to you guys and just sit and watch instead, more fun.

Great build Mos, have to put it on my next model shopping list. Hope you have a great week. Until the next video, take care.

[ianhutchinson]

Smashing build of a very nice-looking little kit. Mine is waiting in the wings...

[georgebrown]

Brilliant build and video, thanks for sharing.

You did a lovely job on this kit, the decals turned out very nice! I would say that the camo is a bit blurry, but that's the fault of the masking tape not working in the first place! All in all, it looks like a very good kit, and excellently tooled as well. I've got the post-war schemes set in my stash right now, and I look forward to building it! Have a Merry Christmas!

[vandriver]

I used to make model kits all of the time. I was thinking of taking it up again. If I do this will be the kit I shall buy. Its an awesome fighter aircraft and its a great kit from airfix. Brilliant video very imformitive and very well made. Keep up the good work... B. Turner

[silicononsapphire]

Great stuff. It's on my shopping list 🙂Nice vid fella.

[Spitfiresammons]

This new airfix tempest looks so much better then the old tempest kit.

[VFCproductions]

Cracking job! I have one to make when time allows (it won't sit around long) but I'm not a fan of perfect invasion stripes. I like them to look a little bit wobbly and off white, like they'd just been applied with a surplus mop...

[robertgarner]

Another brilliant build. Which were the three main colours did you use? Eg the two camouflage colours on top and the grey underneath? The Airfix site suggests many colours to buy for this model. Thanks!

[michaelnaven]

I like your solution on masking for the camouflage.
