Snake45 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I see that R2 is going to reissue this thing next year, so thought I'd post some warning photos of it. The original AMT tooling dates to the mid-70s, but looks more like an Aurora or Hawk kit of the late '50s. Actually, it's not quite that good. It has both shape and assembly problems, and virtually no detail to speak of. I spent quite a bit of time building on this one over a period of several years (off and on), improving things here and there, and when it got to the paint stage, I decided it wasn't worth the PITA effort of a full airbrush camo paint job. So I just squirted it in "RAF High Speed Silver" (Floquil Old Silver) and Snake-slapped it on the shelf. I think in 40 years I've only seen three of these kits actually built, including this one. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Nice looking Tempest, although I do admit it does look a little plain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
