I'm not up to speed on Tempest V kits in 1/72 - last one I built was when I was a child - but I've read there's never been a kit properly accurate in outline let alone detail, so this kit is good news for many and exciting.
My highlight of the range has to be the 1/48 Chipmunk. Very, very exciting and likely to sell well.

Yes the Chipmunk, and the Katy Ambulance are the two that really excited me apart from the Tempest.
The 1/48 Vampire will also be great but it's a different model from the RNZAF ones, not sure if it is compatible.

Airfix have a helpful habit of shading in a darker grey parts on the CAD model that are to be changed for future variants, and this kit's rounded wingtips are so shaded - if this first version sells well (Ive no doubt at all it will!) then next year or so we should see a clipped-wing FB.5/9 (I think we had Marks 5, 9 and 52).

I think the "RAF Cadets" referred to must be what the RAF termed as "A/P u/t". Who makes up this stuff? David D
