Return to Index   Academy 1/72 Tempest V (early), 3 Squadron RAF June 1944 January 8 2012 at 3:05 PM Mick Drover  (Login MichaelDrover) HyperScale Forums from IP address 121.222.138.37 Hi all, This is the 1/72 Academy Tempest V backdated to an early. The minimal modifications needed to change it to an early was the addition of the extended gun barrels. I've also opened the cowl flap and re-positioned the elevators. I thought I had some Quickboost exhausts in the extras box but none found. So for the moment the kit exhausts are held on with Blutac until I order some in. The whip antenna is made from fibre optic. The D-day stripes are painted with Model Master Enamels and the DG/OG/MSG is in Mr Color lacquers. Decals are from Eagle strike sheet 72-022. I hope you like it.

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
