Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.I

January 18, 2025 · in Aviation · · 13 · 175

Folded winged is an added construction challenge. Wings dropped from the tail support in the midst of the photography session to show the delicacy of the configuration.

  1. Excellent result, Rafi!
    Too delicate!

  2. Really, REALLY nice, Rafi! Beautiful result as usual Sir

  3. I did one of these with the wings folded also. It's definitely not as easy as Tamiya makes out it is. This one looks particularly good.

  4. A wonderful Swordfish, Rafi @blackmopane
    I can imagine this folded wing construction is very fragile. Better not to move the model around too often.

  5. Excellent Stringbag, Rafi.

  6. Another well done, Swordfish, Rafi.

  7. Another great build. You sure can crank out the planes. Keep ‘em coming.

  8. A great looking Swordfish Rafi.

  9. I love those FAA colors. Great job on the stringbag. It is hard to believe that England employed a biplane in WWII.
