Fairey Swordfish

Fairey Swordfish Mk. 11/72 Airfix (Old Tool)

This is the first half of a future new tool / old tool build comparing the 1958 and 2021 Airfix Swordfish kits. I have had a new-tool Airfix Swordfish in my stash for some time, but wanted to build it as one of Ark Royal's aircraft [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.II

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

Fairy Swordfish Mk.I Floatplane, Tamiya 1/48

Today, I would like to upload a biplane I adore, the British Royal Navy's Swordfish. This is Tamiya's 1/48 Swordfish Mk I floatplane. Normally, I avoid 1/48 scale due to space constraints, but my desire to build this aircraft won out, and [...]

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

I won this kit with the extra photo-etch detail set in a club raffle a few years ago and finally got around to building it. Although it's well engineered, I found it a challenging project due partly to the complex paint job and partly to [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish Mk. I

With the wings swept back in the parking position, Trumpeter's Swordfish becomes a challenging kit to build. The wings exert a tremendous pressure on the hinges, tail unit and wheels. The result though is well worth the effort.

Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish Mk. I

Trumpeter's Swordfish is a great kit. Not only that it is an enlargement of Tamiya's magnificent 1/48th kit, but also that it is impressive thanks to its large size. The texture surface of the biplane is largely canvas. The texture surface [...]
