Fairey Swordfish

Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish Mk.I floatplane

Tamiya's classic with adapted squadron numbers style. At some point, I discovered that squadron numbers were painted red with a white background. Both versions are correct.

Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish Mk. II

I thought that it would be a pity if this model blows to smithereens from whatever reason without being perpetuated in a digital form.

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 [...]

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 [...]
