AIRFIX - Hawker Tempest Mk.V 1:72 Scale Plastic Model Airplane Kit - A02109 

An aircraft which has to be considered one of the finest airplanes of the Second World War, the Hawker Tempest V could trace its design lineage back to the Hurricane fighters which proved so decisive during the Battle of Britain only two years earlier, but would represent the absolute zenith of piston engined fighter design. Indeed, when accomplished designer Sydney Camm was looking to produce his '˜Super Hurricane's„¢ replacement for the aviation savior of the Battle of Britain, the aircraft he surely had in mind was the Tempest V. As it was, the Tempest is often confused with its predecessor in Royal Air Force service, the Typhoon, even though the two are very different airplanes.
