  • Just prior to D-Day RAF No. 80 Squadron was assigned to the Air Defence of Great Britain flying Spitfires. The 80th was now equipped with Hawker Tempests and assigned to destroying V-1 flying bombs. Once the V-1 threat was over, the unit transferred to Volkel, the Netherlands. The personal markings on Tempest EJ705 "W2-X" were quite unique in that instead of a very discrete wife or girlfriend's name Australian pilot F. A. Lang applied a kangaroo holding an Australian flag. This aircraft destroyed 3 Bf-109s and 1 Fw-190 before being destroyed by fire on start up.
    Today's example is from SkyMax Models. It is 1:72nd scale and made of diecast with plastic accessories. The model is of the Hawker Tempest Mk.V from RAF No.80 Sqn, EJ705, F. A. Lang, Volkel AB, Netherlands, Autumn 1944. It is made very well with good detail.

    A superb model - in detail, colour, markings and history - and that propeller. I have this Tempest and I am going now to play with mine!

    Hello everyone!An excellent model of the aircraft. In my childhood in the USSR, I glued a prefabricated Tempest model from "FROG".
    Now in Russia, the model from "HM" costs 75 euros.

      Ностальгия, моя первая модель. Выпускали ее в соседнем Ярославле на заводе Луч на Фроговской прессформе.
