1:72 Scale Diecast Metal Replica - Hawker Tempest Mk V, No. 3 Sqn.121 Sqn. RAF June 1946 ? Length: 5.75" Wingspan: 6.75? This model is a single seat airplane. The cockpit is glue shut. It has no pilot figure included. The landing gear is modeled in the retracted position. A display stand is included. This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal and very heavy. It also has a number of antennas/guns which look great but are very fragile. If you have small kids that like to play with your models, save yourself some frustration (and money) and wait till later to get a model like this one. The box is labeled as not suitable for children under 14. The maker of this model, Oxford, did a good job with this model, specifically the color scheme and the markings are very crisp and clear. The panel lines and hatches are very nicely done (engraved). The box measures at 7.5 inches by 7.5 inches by 3.25 inches. The Hawker Tempest was a British fighter aircraft primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the Second World War. The Tempest was an improved derivative of the Hawker Typhoon, intended to address problems with the Typhoon's unexpected low performance by replacing its wing with a much thinner laminar flow design. It emerged as one of the most powerful fighters used during the war.
