Fairey Swordfish

Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.I

Folded winged Swordfish 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.

Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.I floatplane

The nicest version of Tamiya's sublime model.

Detailing Special Hobby Fairey Barracuda 1/48 kit

Special Hobby's Barracuda is an injection short run kit that is a challenge to build. The kit attracted my attention following a complete scratch-built wing fold done on Frog's 1/72 kit. The unique wing fold mechanism adds a lot of [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish Mk. III

A replicated upscale of the magnificent Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish, Trumpeter's counterpart is even more impressive thanks to its larger size.

Tamiya 1/48 scale Fairey Swordfish Mk. I

Hello, i finished this kit some months ago but didn´t post it for some reason i can´t remember, but here it is. As you can see i like vintage model kits a lot, so this is another oldie, Matchbox Fairey Swordfish with some bit of [...]

Deadly Stringbag...1/48 Fairey Swordfish Mk.II, 836 NAS, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm

My dad hasn´t done a British aircraft, at least with British markings, for a while. Now it was about time. Great Tamiya kit, also used Tamiya´s PE set for the rigging. Not a bad idea, worth a try and didn´t turn out too bad. But for the [...]
