Hawker Tempest Mk.V in 1/32 scale by Special Hobby captures one of the most powerful British fighter aircraft of WWII. Designed as an improved version of the Hawker Typhoon, the Tempest featured a new wing with a thinner profile, improving speed and maneuverability. The Tempest Mk.V was powered by a 2,200 hp Napier Sabre II engine, which allowed it to reach speeds of over 690 km/h.
The first Tempests entered service in 1944 and quickly became one of the RAF's most efficient aircraft. They were deployed to defend Great Britain against V-1 missiles, where their speed enabled them to effectively eliminate these dangerous weapons. On the European battlefield, the Tempests proved to be a deadly adversary to German fighters, including the jetMe 262s, which, thanks to their acceleration and armament, they were able to effectively attack on takeoff and landing. The aircraft also participated in attacks against German infrastructure and ground targets.
The 1/32 scale model offers a precise treatment of the fuselage, landing gear, engine compartment and armament. A great choice for modelers specializing in British WWII fighter aircraft.
Package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
