Eduard has announced the development of a 1/48 Tempest Mk II model kit which will be produced in partnership with Special Hobby.
The company states that the project follows on the previous Tempest Mk V release and includes a new fuselage and wing as well as some small parts. Two versions will be available representing the F Mk.2 and FB Mk.2. The kit will reportedly be released first in a Special Hobby boxing as part of their Hi Tech line. This will be followed some three months later with the release of two Profipack boxings beginning with the Tempest FB Mk.2.
