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 [...]

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 [...]

Tamiya 1/48 scale Fairey Swordfish Mk. II
Hello iModeler! This kit was a gift from my lovely wife, and It was a total joy to build! I used a Quickboost resin exhaust pipe and EZ line for the rigging. Paints are Vallejo Model Air shot through my Sotar 20/20. The rest is scratch [...]
1/72 Airfix Fairey Swordfish Mk.1
Despite being busy (like a long tailed cat in a rocking chair factory) I got another one finished ! It's OOB with some scratch built items and general repairs, mostly the result of brittle plastic. Rigged with pre-blackened 2 lb test [...]
