The Mk.V variant, powered by the massive Napier Sabre engine, entered service in 1944 and excelled in low-level interception and ground attack roles. The Tempest achieved fame as the most successful Allied fighter against the V-1 flying bomb, destroying over 600 of these weapons. With its distinctive thin elliptical wing and exceptional speed exceeding 400 mph, the Tempest also proved highly effective against German jets and late-war piston fighters, making it a favorite subject for British aviation enthusiasts and late-war WWII modelers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Eduard Paint Masks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1989, Eduard has been perfecting the art of paint masking, using CAD design and precision cutting to create masks that fit perfectly with minimal trimming. Paint masks save hours of tedious hand-masking with tape, eliminate the risk of uneven paint lines, and allow you to achieve professional results even on complex multi-pane canopies. Simply apply the masks, paint, and remove to reveal crisp demarcation lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplementary Products for Your Tempest Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your Hawker Tempest project with the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/1-72-academy-hawker-tempest-v-12466\" target=\"_self\"\u003eAcademy Hawker Tempest V\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e kit.
