Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish Mk. II
I thought that it would be a pity if this model blows to smithereens from whatever reason without being perpetuated in a digital form.

WOW! really awesome!
Thank you, Davide!
This is absolutely amazing, Rafi @blackmopane
Beautifully built and fantastic photography. What kind of camera did you use to capture it?
Thank you, John.
Old Canon camera.
Beautiful Swordfish, Rafi, I hope you can keep safe.
Thank you, George.
Stay safe Rafi. The photos of the string bag bring out the best in the kit. More importantly the person making the kit can build another. The kit is replaceable, the builder with his gifts and talents are not.
As always, some strong work.
Thank you, Stephen.
From my perspective, both modeler and models are doomed. I prefer to go first😉.
That is a stunning build of a great kit. I am sorry you have to post it under such circumstances.
Thank you, Russell.
In truth, I made a deviation from another project and hope to come back sometime.
Wonderful work.
Just would frighten me to try building it.
Stringbag is an appropriate nickname
Building Trumpeter's Stringbag is easier than Tamiya's offering. The only hurdle is the PE set that is difficult to modify.
It's funny, but you're right. And what makes it funny is that the Trumpeter kit is the Tamiya kit pantographed up to 1/32.
Excellent work on this. A night attacker and a biplane with D-Day stripes.
Please stay safe.
Thank you kindly Tom.
The logic is that the bigger parts and inherent good fit makes a trouble free build.
Fantastic Swordfish, Rafi!
Stay safe my friend!
Thank you kindly, Spiros.
Beautiful build as usual Rafi, but your safety matters more. Prayers to you and your family.
Thank you kindly, Jim.
Incredible! Just incredible.
Thank you, Matt.
Excellent Swordfish kit. And very dramatic set of pictures. Well done Rafi.
Thank you, Jarmo.
Nice model, Rafi. You are in my prayers, stay safe.
Thank you kindly, John.
Excellent modelling Rafi. A great set of atmospheric photos to show your skills in the best light. Sadly my words wont stop what is happening where you are but our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Thank you kindly, Guy.
Excellent build, great detail. A real beauty!
Thank you, Chas!
A real beauty! The usually "delicate" Swordfish looks a bit more aggressive in that night scheme!
Thank you, Greg!
For some time I planned to build the black scheme to complement the white version until I found a deal cheaper than Tamiya's smaller Swordfish.
That is beautiful, Rafi @blackmopane! 🤩 I hope all goes well for you and yours, Rafi! 🙏🏻
Thank you kindly, Gary.
So far, so good.
A great looking Swordfish Rafi, stay safe.
Thank you kindly Ian.
