This is my third Trumpeter
Swordfish build where I was able to include the attractive white scheme of
late WWII British naval camouflage schemes. Similar to the earlier
Swordfish Mk. I release, the kit retains the compact Tamiya features, but
requires a considerable preparation work to modify the rib contour lines on the
wing surfaces. Trumpeter nicely detailed the ordnance, but conveniently omitted
the radar antenna array that appeared on many Swordfish Mk. II aircraft.

With the wings spread, the
respective weight tension on parts is no longer an issue, but limited
shelf space crops in. Worst than that, I place Trumpeter Swordfish models
separately from the others as they overshadow the best builds of all
scales.
Enjoy the photos.
