"Great new tool"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

In the dim dark past, I built the old tool Airfix Swordfish and also the FROG one. This is an inbox review as I won't be building this until modelling supplies are designated essential supplies. It comes with two options for payload (bombs or torpedoes) , configuration (wings folded or not), colour schemes (camo or silver overall) and markings. The tooling is really nice and I love that a trolley is provided got the torpedo. The interior is very detailed. Things I didn't like were the lack of rigging diagrams, and the absence of colour callouts for detail parts (the only defined/named colours are those for the exterior.

All in all very nice and looking forward to building it.

Description

Airfix 1:72 Fairey Swordfish Mk.1 – Model Kit

The Royal Navy's primary torpedo bomber of the Second World War, the Swordfish, despite its obsolescence, proved to be an effective anti-submarine and torpedo bomber right up until the end of hostilities in 1945, going on in fact to outlive its intended replacement, the Albacore, in Royal Navy Service. Involved in such famous actions as the Taranto raid, the Bismark operation and the Channel Dash, the vulnerable but effective Swordfish firmly cemented its place in aviation folklore.
