Not sure about the letter on the fin on the grey one, in practice they would have moved the whole code further along the fuselage. And they need kill markings for added effect.

Nice though.

Great looking Tempest's (my favourite type, that is type 2's  )         

Lovely stuff matey X 2   
I've gotta get a Tempest .

Does the one with tanks have those transparent pylons Chris?

Think those are only in the Airfix Tempest.

Ah, OK.

Fantastic builds, Chris!  

Thank you gents

Indeed

My logic there was that as a lot of US aircraft carried ID markings there so Tiger Force followed suit.  I thought about some kill markings, perhaps German and Japanese, and indeed dug some out. Maybe the next one will get them 

Excellent.

 

Smart Tempests, Chris (I still have a soft spot for the Matchbox kit, mind).

No idea why, but....
#1: the MSG/PRU Blue looks extremely Sea Fury (I'm very aware of the Sea Fury parentage!), while the SEAC one absolutely doesn't.

No idea why, but....
#2: I was convinced the Tiger Force job would have silver doped uppers.

None of which matters a jot, of course.  But what's struck me just is that the Tempest II looks late 40s, while the Tempest V and VI are very much early/mid 40s.  And all it is to my eye is the engine arrangement.

The II is also my choice for a Tempest and those look sweet... although i do prefer the grey one...   Great work, Chris! 

A smart pair indeed!

NIce couple!    I like the DG/DE one much. 

Thanks gents
