Hawker Tempest
The Hawker Tempest represents one of the most powerful British fighter aircraft of the late Second World War. This massive and incredibly fast machine was developed as an aerodynamically refined evolution of the older Typhoon and became the terror of the German Luftwaffe, as well as a feared hunter of V-1 flying bombs. In our selection, you will find detailed collectible replicas of this imposing aircraft. We bring you precisely crafted 1:72 scale models from manufacturers Oxford and SkyMax Models, made of heavy die-cast metal with fine plastic parts.

A Low-Altitude Speed Champion
Thanks to its thin laminar-flow wing and the brutal power of its 24-cylinder Sabre engine, the Tempest was an absolute top performer at low and medium altitudes. It was precisely this fantastic speed that made it the ideal weapon against German V-1 flying bombs, hundreds of which were destroyed by Tempest pilots. Towards the end of the war, these machines dominated the skies over Western Europe, attacking enemy supply trains, convoys, and airfields with the devastating power of their four 20mm cannons, and they did not shy away even from the new German jet aircraft.
