The D-Day stripes were a good incentive for another build.

  1. The wings and struts look very challenging. Great result.

  2. Another gem from you, Rafi!
    Congratulations!

  3. Well done, as usual, Rafi. I just finished my first build of this kit, it is a wonderful experience.

  4. A very nice Swordfish, Rafi @blackmopane
    Still an aircraft which is on my wishlist.

  5. Very nice work on this, Rafi. I too couldn't resist a biplane with rockets and D-Day stripes.

    I did one from Tamiya which I can't find a photo of, and one from the upscaled Tamiya, er, I mean Trumpeter, here.

  11. Fantastic paint job on this Sword!
