    Airfix 1/72 Fairey Swordfish Mk.1

    Hello all!

    The latest in my Royal Navy collection; the wonderful Fairey Swordfish.

    This is the latest Airfix kit with the addition of some of the Airwaves PE set for the older kit. I also added Uschi rigging.

    Great finish. The Airfix is a nice little kit. I built the float plane version and was well impressed with Airfix.

            Fantastic job on this. The rigging looks so fine, especially at 1/72.

              Brilliant result Chris.
              I go along with Tim. The rigging is very well done.

              Great, all round build.

                At 0.01mm, it is very fine!
                Perhaps could do with being a little thicker, but it looks better IRL.
