Tempest Mk.V - 12th Fighter - Bomber Aircraft Regiment in 1951

Plane bears the camouflage that uses the pre-WW II Czechoslovak Ar Force so-called mobilization colors used for bombers and reccon aircrafts. The aircraft belongs to the "democratic" lines of history,when Communist Party did not get to power in 1948.

Kit is factory SMĚR (ex-Heller), panel lines are converted to negative.

Originally, the model should have a different camouflage, but this may finally emerge.

I really like the camo scheme! No matter how you achieved it, I'm sure you'll get a ton of compliments!

My dear friend Mr.AoO ..... I´m 39.........and my modeling was started,when I was 7 year young.....an now...my kits are a some little better,then there.... but...it was very nice times.....maybe a few hours to completing the kit....next (sometimes,not every) some colours and decals...

But now? Studying many books, more of time on web,searching pics,schemes....some weeks....or months of gluing,pyttying,sanding,scribing....colouring,masking,next colouring with airbrush....and....where is the JOY of modelling?

I'm agree. But the "whatif world" is for that, I always try to see the basic idea in the models of the other people and caught the concept. Not the finished only, The wiffers have a name for this kind of people but I don't remenber now. Be happy, do the things you want to do, and enjoy the time inside this particular territory.

Many thanks....

I enjoy all ab out kits...maybe,because I´m CRAZY

But...who is NOT crazy?

P.S. now I finishing one more crazy camouflage on F-51D (1/48 Airfix /ex-Otaki/). I hope,that it will be soon ready. And with more complex story...

Here two samples of them....

Gorgeous builds

Beautiful work PantherG, adding Czech roundels to almost ANYthing improves it, but on a Tempest it's awesome.
