1/72 Hawker Tempest Mk V - Airfix Scale Model (A02109)

Perhaps one of the best engineered aircraft to serve during the Second World War, the Hawker Tempest V followed a long line of innovative fighter planes, including the Hurricane fighters who turned the tide of the Battle of Britain just two years earlier. When accomplished designer Sydney Camm was looking to produce his '˜Super Hurricane'™ replacement for the aviation saviour of the Battle of Britain, the aircraft he surely had in mind was the Tempest V. As it was, the Tempest is often confused with its predecessor in Royal Air Force service, the Typhoon, even though the two are very different aeroplanes.

This quality Airfix assembly model kit builds a 1:72 scale replica of the Hawker Tempest Mk.V with decals for 2 alternate scheme options.

For use under adult supervision, model kits are designed for children aged 10 years and upwards. Plastic Model kit that requires assembly and painting. This is not a toy.
