stevej60 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hi all,another build in the Matchbox GB is the Swordfish,same as the other's OOB like we used to with hopefully a better finish than we did as kid's I got the kit given it's a second edition boxing with poor decals I replaced the roundel's but lost the starboard codes so made the port ones from an old fin flash and may have got the sequence wrong and left of the rigging in the spirit of the build,Aircraft in a night scheme I believe this aircraft was based on the continent late war and used in anti U-Boat patrols,many thank's for looking in. 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Fantastic Swordfish! I really like the finish and weathering you've done. I have the Revell Swordfish to build (reboxed Matchbox??), and am looking forward to it. Don't think it will turn out as good as yours.
