1/32 Hawker Tempest Mk. V

The Hawker Tempest made the hair of Axis engineers stand on end during the Second World War.

With around 800 models built, the MK V of the Tempest series established itself from 1944 as the most powerful fighter and fighter-bomber of the Allied powers. As one of the fastest fighter planes of World War II, the propeller-driven Tempest V was able to hold its own against the German Me262 jet fighter.

It became famous as the "V1 hunter". With a top speed of up to 696 km/h, this fighter aircraft was able to track and shoot down cruise missiles before they could do any damage
