TopNotch 48-M013 1/48 Hawker Tempest Series V Camo Masks

The Tempest was an improved derivative of the Hawker Typhoon intended to address the Typhoon's performance issues at high altitude. It entered service in 1944. The Tempest was used as a low-level interceptor, particularly against the V-1 flying bomb threat and as a ground attack platform in which it supported major events such as Operation Market Garden. Later, it successfully targeted the rail infrastructure in Germany and Luftwaffe aircraft on the ground, as well as countering attacks by German fighters. The Tempest was effective in the low-level interception role against newly developed jet-propelled aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Me 262.

We have tried to faithfully represent the scheme used for this period.
