Developed in late 1941 from the troublesome Typhoon interceptor, the prototype flew in September 1942. The first order was for 400 Tempests, produced as the Mk.V Series 1 (100 a\/c by Hawker) and Series 2 (300 a\/c by Gloster); the first aircraft were completed in mid-1943. A further two orders for Hawker-built Mk.V Srs.2 aeroplanes raised the total of the Tempests produced to 801.<\/p>\n<p>It was a single-seat monoplane aircraft, of all metal construction, powered by a Napier Sabre II engine. DH or Rotol four-bladed propellers were used. It featured a bubble canopy and a retractable undercarriage. The Srs.1 aircraft had four long-barrelled 20mm Hispano cannons in the wings, while the later Tempests had cannons without projecting barrels. The Srs.2 aircraft could also carry 45-gal drop tanks. In its later guise, the Tempest could perform as a fighter-bomber, carrying a wide variety of bombs up to 1000 lbs. From early 1945 it was cleared for rocket firing and combinations of 25lb or 60lb RP could be carried.<\/p>\n<p>Tempest Mk.Vs were delivered to the RAF and RNZAF squadrons between April 1944 and July 1945, ultimately equipping nine fighter units and one auxiliary squadron.<\/p>\n<p>During the advance of Allied forces into Germany, ground attacks, close-support sorties and pursuit of Luftwaffe aircraft were the main tasks of the Tempests. After VE-Day the Tempest Mk.Vs soldiered on with seven squadrons of BAFO in Germany, and the last units retained their aircraft until early 1948.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Colour schemes included in the kit:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) Hawker Tempest Mk.V (Srs.2), EJ555, Sky JJ-W, \u2018Bet\u2019, No.174 Sq., Royal Air Force, British Air Forces of Occupation (BAFO), Dedelstorf Air Base (B-155), Germany, September 1945<\/p>\n<p>2) Hawker Tempest Mk.V (Srs.2), NV716, Sky J5-X, No.3 Sq., Royal Air Force, British Air Forces of Occupation (BAFO), Gatow Air Base, Germany, spring 1946<\/p>\n<p>3) Hawker Tempest Mk.V (Srs.2), SN213, Black 5R-S, No.33 Sq., Royal Air Force, British Air Forces of Occupation (BAFO), Gatow Air Base, Germany, February 1946<\/p>\n<p>4) Hawker Tempest Mk.V (Srs.2), SN326, Sky W2-L, \u2018Betty\u2019, No.80 Sq., Royal Air Force, Volkel airfield (B-80), the Netherlands, early 1945<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Assembly instructions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-710\" src=\"http:\/\/www.4pluspublications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/pdf-download.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"60\" height=\"58\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.4pluspublications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/MKM144110-Tempest-V-Fierce-Fighter_instr-web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MKM144110 Tempest V Fierce Fighter_instr web<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>RELEASED 09\/2021<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Two injection-moulded kits are supplied in this box and each kit contains 42 parts and one clear part (the cockpit canopy).
