        Nice result. I like it when someone takes a 'classic' kit and manages to produce a good model from it.

          I've been watching this build with interest. The Swordfish was my Old Man's favourite aircraft and the only one he ever got a flight in, I'm sure he'd have loved what you've done with this kit, a marvelous job

                    Hi Alex i used fishing line for the rigging the good thing about it is when its all glued up if its a bit slack you can use a little heat and it shrinks and pulls tight but be carefull not too much

                      Thanks, Ian. It's worked very well.

                      As a side note, I was recently looking at WWI bi and tri-planes and was tempted to build one some day. There really are some wonderful colour schemes to go with and the kits are cheap.

                          Nothing at the moment, but I may consider something in the future. Too many ideas and an extreme lack of get up and go at the moment....haha
