Hawker Tempest Mark II 1/48” Scale

[aAzZ09]

This one took a lot longer than I expected, but here it is, done. I used the Tempest Mark 5 Eduard kit and with the conversion kit converted it to a Mark II. I do not remember the vendor name of the conversion kit. I removed the engine cowling of the Mark 5 from the kit and grafted the Mark II radial engine assembly into it. I noticed that Eduard introduced a complete Mark II version (late WW2) with the markings of Charles Dyson, Wing Commander, RAF just recently. It featured a red lightning bolt draped on the port and starboard cowling and extended backwards toward the cockpit area. It’s not perfect, but after a series of setbacks it will do.
