Airfix Hawker Tempest Mk.V Post War 1:72 Scale Plastic Model Kit

The Airfix Hawker Tempest Mk.V Post War is a 1:72 scale plastic model kit of Sydney Camm's famous RAF fighter.

About this model

This kit reproduces the Tempest's laminar flow wing, thinner than the Typhoon's, along with the extended nose and dorsal fillet that mark out the type. Two genuine post-war paint schemes are included, letting you build the aircraft as it appeared in this later phase of its service.

The box contains the plastic kit, instruction sheet, paint guide and decal sheet, giving you everything needed to complete the model aside from glue, paints and tools.

Common questions

What scale is this kit?

It's built to 1:72 scale, a popular size for RAF fighters of the WW2 period.

What's included in the box?

You get the plastic kit itself along with an instruction sheet, paint guide and decal sheet, with a choice of two post-war paint schemes.

Do I need to buy paint separately?

Yes, the kit includes a paint guide and decals but not the paints or glue themselves, so you'll need to source these alongside your build.
