Scale Accuracy and Detail for Modelers

The Academy 1/72 Hawker Tempest V model kit gives modelers a chance to build a faithful 1/72 replica of one of World War II's most capable fighters. Famous for its speed and powerful engine, the Tempest V is captured here with crisp moulding and realistic lines that appeal to both hobbyists starting out and experienced builders looking for a satisfying project.

Combat Role and Authentic Look

In operational service the Hawker Tempest V excelled at intercepting V-1 flying bombs and at low altitude fighting. This kit reflects those operational traits by offering accurate external shapes and control surface detail so builders can appreciate the aircrafts wartime role while creating a convincing scale model.

Assembly Quality and Display Potential

Parts are engineered for good fit and tidy assembly, helping reduce time spent on sanding and gap filling. With detailed cockpit and landing gear components, a completed model makes an attractive display piece and a fine addition to any WWII aircraft collection.

Yes, but it is best for beginners who have done a few simple kits. The parts fit well, yet there are small details that require steady hands and basic painting skills.
