Special Hobby's 1/32 scale Hawker Tempest Mk.V 'Doodle-bug Hunters' plastic model kit (SH-32091) recreates the RAF fighter aircraft famed for intercepting V-1 flying bombs over wartime Britain. The Tempest Mk.V was one of the fastest piston-engined fighters of the Second World War, and this 1/32 scale kit captures its distinctive elliptical wing profile and powerful Napier Sabre engine cowling in fine-detail injection-moulded plastic. The 'Doodle-bug Hunters' theme focuses specifically on the RAF squadrons tasked with countering the V-1 threat in 1944, making it a compelling subject for WWII aviation modellers.
