1/48 Tempest Mk.II Late Version Model Kit

ProfiPACK edition kit of British fighter aircraft Tempest Mk.II in 1/48 scale.

The Hawker Typhoon failed to perform its intended role as a fighter plane but later served as a bombing fighter, especially when it was equipped with rocket launchers. High altitude flight performance and climb were unsatisfactory and in 1941 an attempt was made to counter this by using a wing with a thinner profile and elliptical contour.

The engine radiator was moved from under the engine itself to the edges of the wing root, and the Napier Saber C.107C engine was selected as the drive source. As the new wing had a smaller capacity, it became necessary to install additional fuel tanks in the fuselage of the aircraft. The introduced changes were so big that at the beginning of 1942 the plane was named Hawker Tempest. The Tempest prototype was flown in February 1943 and soon achieved a speed of 750 km / h at an altitude of 7,470 meters.
