Check the listing for details. Special Hobby 1/32 Tempest Mk.V Doodle-bug Hunters. Condition: New. Listed at 70.07 USD. During the air battles of World War II, both warring sides had to react to the introduction of new, more powerful types of enemy aircraft. The deployment of the new German Fw 190 fighter in 1941 not only brought the rather hasty development of new versions of the Spitfire fighter, but also accelerated the introduction of the new Hawker Typhoon Mk.I fighters into regular service. The introduction of the Typhoons was very complicated and, since it soon became clear that the Typhoon had certain limitations as a fighter, Hawker's chief designer, Sydney Camm, began the development of an improved version. Due to the number of changes, this new fighter was named Tempest. And it became one of the best fighters of World War II.
