Fairey Swordfish Mk.I

by Graham Green

Tamiya's 1/48 scale Swordfish Mk.I is available online from Squadron.com

Here are some images of my Tamiya 1/48 scale Swordfish.

This is the standard kit with the Tamiya etched rigging, painted with Humbrol Alclad and Tamiya paints and finished in the pre WW2 colours of the FAA.

I decided to finish the model with the wings folded because, until I had built the model (when they first came out), I had not seen any pictures of it done that way. It also takes up a lot less room on the shelf!

Decals are from the kit and went on very well, with no problems. One day I will get around to building one with the wings outstretched.
