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 [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.II
My choice of Tamiya's best 1/48th ever produced.
PE set was used as a guide to fashion a new wire set. I found that both flat and round profile bracing wires were used in production aircraft.
Slats were cut and extended like seen on parked [...]
Stringbag
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 [...]
Trumpeter 1/32 Fairey Swordfish
The kit was painted with Tamiya XF's and weathered with pastels and enhanced with an Eduard pe set. I couldn't get the kits rigging to work and so I used stainless steel wire instead...
FAA Fairey Swordfish
Hi All,
I present my third and final contribution to the Flight 19, WW2 Fleet Air Arm, mini group build. As with my two previous FAA builds this build is also a tribute to a Fleet Air Arm serviceman.
While reading the book, Tune In: The [...]
Best End of the Year Gift Ever
In a 30+ year teaching career (and still going in this crazy 2020) I spent 17 of them in 6th grade. At the end of the year many students will often give a token of appreciation such as gift cards, mugs, and such to their teachers. About 18 [...]
Tamiya Swordfish Mk.II 1/48, Any Color as long it's Black
In my black book there’s a list and in that list a word “Stringbag”, written a long time ago. The ink is all pale and faded-like, but I can cross it now!
It wasn’t until I tied my horse in front of the iModeler Saloon many moons [...]
