For me, this was the most impressive plane from Scale Model World. I am in awe of the paint job on other aircraft, such as the 1/32 Red Baron Griffon-engined Mustang, but this big Tempest was crafted so beautifully from the most basic materials.

The Tempest was gorgeous and how it didn't win best of show is beyond me.
