Experience the pinnacle of historical aviation with the Mk.II Tempest model kit, a testament to the engineering marvels of the past. This crafted kit brings to life the second version of the iconic airframe, powered by the robust Centaurus radial engine. The Mk.II Tempest, which first soared into the skies in June 1943, quickly proved its mettle, capturing the excitement of the RAF with its flawless performance. Despite the prioritization of the Tempest V version for production due to operational demands in the European Theatre, the Tempest II's significance cannot be understated, with its first batches rolling out in October 1944. Although the war's rapid developments altered its deployment, the Tempest II's legacy was cemented by its service in various combat units across Germany and India, and its subsequent adoption by the newly independent nations of India and Pakistan.

The Hi-Tech release of the Mk.II Tempest model kit is a collector's dream, featuring an array of finely detailed and 3D-designed resin parts.
