The Airfix Hawker Tempest Mk V Model Kit brings a powerful piece of WWII aviation history to life in 1:72 scale. Known as one of the era's fastest Allied fighters, the Tempest Mk V was a superior design by Sydney Camm, crafted to succeed the Hurricane and Typhoon.
Fitted with the powerful 24-cylinder Napier Sabre engine, it reached impressive speeds of 768 km/h (477 mph) and excelled in both ground attack and air defense roles. This versatile fighter was instrumental in defending Britain from V-1 “Doodlebug†flying bombs, with RAF Tempest squadrons credited for intercepting hundreds of these early missiles.
The model kit includes detailed plastic components, an instruction sheet, a paint layout sheet, and authentic decals. Ideal for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs, this kit celebrates the formidable design and enduring legacy of a legendary WWII aircraft, offering a rewarding build experience and a striking addition to any model collection.
