CONCLUSION

Eduard builds on its remarkable track record with

this brand-new 1:48 scale Hawker Tempest Mk.V

joining their state-of-the-art Spitfires, Bf 109s and

Focke-Wulf 190s.

Eduard’s new 1:48 scale Tempest kit are

light years ahead of their older offering.

This is a very desirable model with

fine crisp surface textures, a high level

of detail, the option of even more detail

with a pile of BRASSIN aftermarket options

already available and, on the basis of having built

one of each of their new-tool families, the promise

of good fit and a trouble-free build.

Keep on keeping on Eduard! U
