Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II Royal Indian Air Force
Another beauty John. I really like that version of the tempest - I suppose it became the sea fury as they could be twins. Indian air force markings are a great choice. The father of a guy that worked for me was an officer and pilot in the Indian air force. I'll have to ask what he few - timing would be about right for a Tempest.
Thanks,
John

I have no words. A round of applause is suffice on a fantastic finish.

A stunner, no question. It's the dark orange spinner that sells it for me. It contrasts so well with the silver.
