Looks like an excellent kit. I would not know were to put after having build it, but looks great and the inclusion of a clear fuselage is cool. Thanks for the update, Jean-Luc.

I really liked the looks of the Tamiya kit, but never got it. This one looks great also.

It looks like I'll be getting one for review. Guess I better bone up on the old gal.

Gadzooks and Hot Marimba! Look what just landed at my door.

Delivery man says he has to go get hernia operation. Evidently the Fairey Swordfish II had metal lower wings to enable the mounting of rockets, introduced in 1943.

Anyone know of a good monograph on the Fairey Swordfish? An author's name would help too.

Hi Stephen Warpaint Books Ltd. published a monograph on the Swordfish. It seems to be out of print now, but still available from them on CD. All the best Rowan
