Re: Tempest Project 1/18
That's going to look Great. I still need to get with you on the Hurricane if they are still available.
Re: Tempest Project 1/18
I still have the Hurricane molds so can still pour them.

Re: Tempest Project 1/18
Excellent as a "future" idea, BUT ONLY AFTER YOU BUILD a P-39 Airacobra, Yak-9, and or Ilyushin Il-2!!!
Those are such hugely produced WWII planes, and would offer some great German opposition planes!!!
ME-163 would be cool to have in production again...
After that, produce the obscure Tempest?

How can you say the Tempest is obscure ? This was the fastest piston engined Aircraft of the Second World War and the for runner of the Sea Fury,one of Hawkers ultimate Aircraft.
Re: Tempest Project 1/18
Spoiler alert, have actually started a Yak 9 project, but it will not be out for awhile.

Re: Tempest Project 1/18
Love the Tempest! Definitely want one, now.
Especially since there is no Typhoon!

Re: Tempest Project 1/18
Looking good. I would be interested in seeing how you tackle the canopy.
Re: Tempest Project 1/18
This is the direction I am going to go on the canopy. A vacuum formed one, this is a rough example to just see how it fits.

Re: Tempest Project 1/18
This plane will be made that the wings attach separate with just two screws, this will cut way down on it's shipping costs as will be a lot smaller box to ship. I learned some lessons from the Hurricane project and want to make this go together easier, and be a better fit on the parts. We are working on redoing the cockpit area to make it better and easier to assemble.
Hurricane was my first attempt at a plane, so am learning from my mistakes and will get better.
