The Hawker Tempest was a British Fighter / Bomber aircraft primarily used by the Royal Air Force (R.A.F.) during World War II.  It was developed in part from the earlier Hawker Typhoon and was deployed as the Tempest V starting in 1944.  In all, 1,702 Hawker Tempests were built and although it was mainly used by the R.A.F., it was also used in limited numbers by Canada, India, New Zealand and Pakistan.  The Tempest was used up through the mid-1950s.  This older, out-of-production "Tempest' kit is quality engineered in two-colors.  Authentic decals are included for two aircraft: 1) R.A.F.
