The Airfix offering of the Fairey Swordfish Mk 1 as presented in the "Channel Dash" gift set.
Painted with Hataka Blue Line from their Fleet Air Arm set with some odd bits of Tamiya - primarily flat black, flat aluminium and rubber black.
Metal rigging from SBS - photoetch stainless steel.
It was an enjoyable kit to build.

Very nice work.
And to think these things were responsible for the Bismarck's demise!
And Taranto!

They are both beautiful, very well done Neil. Especially like the scheme on the second.
