OK, this has been one build I did not enjoy atall. The decals were basically useless and I had to see what I could find in the spares box.

Even with gloss clear and sanding with micro mesh some of them still silvered but it is what it is.

Paints are humbrol enamels with alclad matt clearcoat over it all.

Man Im glad this one is done LOL

Hope it’s okay for me to poke my head in here- that’s some really nice work Theuns! Despite your issues she turned out great!!!

Go ahead ,poke on in no worries :wink:

Thanx mate

I am adding this tempest to my “Hawkers” collection. Sofar I have (all in 48) Fury, Hurricaine, tempest, still need to build the typhoon. Then I hope to get a hunter and harrier.

Thanks Theuns,

Here it is completed after almost 30 hours. The Ki84 Hayate (gale, hurricane, tempest, blast, storm, squall, gust) or to the Allies, Frank. A most beautiful aircraft to my eyes, and from my reading, better than the P-51 when tuned and running on good fuel according to the testera at Wright Patterson

Thanks for running another cool GB. I’ll be looking for your next one.
