Global Scale Modeller

Her she is if the spitfire was the thoroughbred of the sky's the tempest was all about brute power and speed.

















And that's the lot thanks for looking.

Looks sweet dude. Lovely weathering on her.

Very cool

Hope the pink pants on the line arnt yours though

Cheers guys
My little girls gup trust you to notice them

And in her final resting place with the others in my sons bedroom.

Proper dogfight going on now on that ceiling

Nice result Nige

Pink pants at 11 o'clock high!! Tally Ho!

Great looking Tempest Nige. I really like the weathering on the invasion stripes, never seen that before, but I bet we'll be seeing more of it now!

Good work fella.

Looks really good nige.....

I'd be proud of that one dude, the weathering on the invasion markings is superb...have you painted then gone at it with some wet n dry to scuff it up a tad??

Well done once again..

As I may have said... several times...WOW!!!!
Great work Dude. Many thumbs.

Two things that I noticed from the daylight shots Nigel that I thought were quite spectacular.
The weathering on the prop blades is fantastic. I think you really nailed that.
The other is the colour that you chose for the tires is the perfect shade for rubber tires.
They actually look like worn rubber. Impressive.
Sweet job... and thanks again for all that photography, I know that I'll certainly be using it and I doubt that I'll be the only one.

Cheers mate the invasion stripes where dry brushed after painting and all the decals and varnish was done because I brush paint u felt this was the best way as not to get to many layers if paint.



Cheers Coen if truth be told I'm really pleased with it the tires are just humbrol 33 black then given a quick rub with some old denim just to take it back a little.

Wow... it really sold Dude.
I'll have to remember that little trick for my 109.
Tanks also have a lot of tyres, and I might just pick up some of that Humbrol.

"A Tempest and a Tiger Tale" .....

Brilliant job Nige, although your runway looks a little bumpy lol

What a cool little vid

Looks absolutely great.
Awesome weathering!!
Looks like it has seen some action!

Great looking tempest, you did the model justice! i like the chipping effects on the propeller and wings in particular.

Cheers guy much appreciated

I go away for a few days and everyone finishes.

Loving this one, my favourate bit is the wirn off invasion stripes at the wing root.

nice finish

Cracking job! Awesome weathering

Cheers fellas.

Superb result mate. As has already been noted, the leading edge of the wings and prop blades is great, in fact the weathering overall is extremely realistic.

Cheers Phil much appreciated.

Great work! Now I need to find myself a Tempest and get her in the air.
