The 1/32 Special Hobby Tempest Mk.V ‘Doodle-bug Hunters’ (SH32091) is a striking new reboxing of the acclaimed Tempest Mk.V kit, dedicated to the aircraft used in operations against the infamous V-1 flying bombs. This release stands out not only for its historical subject matter but also for being the first Tempest kit to feature the rarely seen 'radar camo' scheme, complete with a 3D printed radar antenna and cockpit instrument for one of the four included aircraft marking options.
Each marking represents a Tempest credited with intercepting and destroying V-1 rockets, with two of the aircraft proudly displaying V-1 kill symbols. The kit continues Special Hobby’s commitment to detail and accuracy in large-scale kits, offering a rewarding project for modellers interested in RAF operations during the latter part of WWII.
