Hawker “Super Sea Tempest”
Good tidings! I bring to you a little something that came about as a result of a missing intake. I decided there was a host of things amiss so decided to release the p1030 as a naval variant (a fairly plausible scenario given the similarity to the Sea Fury) upgrades and changes are listed below.
-Improved wing outline (more like a tempest)
-Changed the front engine cowl so its more of a resemblance of the beauty of Sir Camm’s drawings.
-exploding ailerons are gone! (And have been replaced with glitching wings when banking instead - ach well, you can’t have everything I suppose!)
-2 folds wings in the nautical fashion and 3 lowers the arrestor hook.
-Realistic weapon load
Speed at sea level was what I was aiming for during the initial build so it may be, (ahem), a tad fast at height. Now where did I put that Britannia I was working on so long ago......?

Cheers! @GhostHTX there’s another drawing I’ve come across that’s similar to this but more akin to some bizarre mix between a mustang and a typhoon. Time. Never on your side is it...
Very nice!
@Tang0five np (^_^)
Thank you! @Zott
Glad to be of service! I do like the cancelled projects that the big movers and shakers had planned @RamboJutter
@Tang0five yeah man, I'm English and interested in aircraft both historical and experimental, one of my first builds on here was a sea fury (I didn't post it cos it was rubbish) I then built the typhoon, next thing I know you build a super tempest. Every time you build something it reminds me of a manufacturer / designer that's worth consideration for future builds :)
Heavens above! My thanks to you all! Apologies for releasing a similar build on the bounce as it were, exploding ailerons and missing intakes did warrant a quiet word with myself. I figured had Hawker gone ahead with this type it naturally would have been proposed to the FAA. (When we used to have one of course.....)
@EternalDarkness @SgtK @Mumpsy @Sunnyskies @SledDriver @FastDan @USSR and @Razor3278
Humbled and in debted to you Sir! Am I to assume our interest categories overlap somewhere? @RamboJutter
@Tang0five theres nothing mediocre about it, you build on a tablet, your builds are excellent.
Many thanks again and for spotlighting my mediocrity! @RamboJutter
Np! @Tang0five
Thanks @CRJ900Pilot glad you think so!
Cool!
