During the Modellbrno event , the Hi-Tech release of the 1/32 Tempest Mk.V kit no. SH32070 was available for the first time (among other new kits, see here ). This Tempest release brings the customer also a partial resin replica (more specifically the upper part) of its power plant, the unique Napier Sabre engine. And for the real connoisseurs among you, a much more special treat is currently being prepared here at SH headquarters. Do have a look at the photos below, it is a complete replica of the Sabre power plant coming also with the rediator. The unit is meant to be built in to the SH Tempest model and will be available in our CMK range of resin sets in Autumn. It’s catalogue number will be 5110. Quite a masterpiece worth waiting for.    

Our Hi-Tech format Tempest Mk.V kit was among the fastest-selling items in the history of Special Hobby company (ex-MPM Production). At present, we offer a basic kit of the Tempest Mk.V fighter – cat.no SH32049. But, as modellers still keep asking for a Hi-Tech kit, we have decided not to re-release the sold-out kit, but on the contrary, we have chosen to prepare for you a completely new model with catalogue number SH32070 with a nice selection of marking options for ace pilots flying on the type. The kit will also comprise an upper section of the Napier Sabre power unit. Those who crave for a complete Sabre engine replica including the radiator might be tempted to use our new CMK resin set that is just being finished by our top designer Norbert. He has been using both his handicraft skills and the most advanced computer system and 3D printer available to Special Hobby to create a real beauty among model engine replicas. Both the model and the set are due for spring 2017 releas...
