  1. What a beautiful build, Rafi @blackmopane. The colors and weathering are amazing and who does not like a Coastal Command scheme?

  2. Absolutely amazing result, Rafi @blackmopane
    Great weathering and detailing.

  3. You really outdid yourself in the one. Simply outstanding.

  4. A beauty in every respect, Rafi!
    Congratulations!

  5. Beautiful. It’s good to see that you got the lower wing perfectly horizontal. So many let the wings sag down. Yes, it’s a great, no sweat kit.

  6. Rafi: Your Swordfish is perhaps your best work yet. It is a magnificent tour-de-force...Congratulations!

  7. @blackmopane Spectacular work. Looks like it came straight out of a museum.

  8. Excellent build of one of Tamiya's best offerings.

  9. A great build of a classic Rafi.

  10. Fantastic work on his Ravi , I agree with previous comment i.e. possibly your best work yet.

  11. Really excellent work. I have one of these in my collection.

  12. Marvelous build! The Swordfish is my favorite subject to see wearing that scheme, and with the floats to bring more "white" to the bottom of the scheme it really livens it up even more.
