Old and new Airfix Swordfish side by side


Recommended Posts

The first is the old Airfix kit, a real favorite of mine from way long ago. I combined it with some parts from the Frog kit, some scratch building and some PE parts. 

The second is the new Airfix kit OOTB. It looks "beefier" that the old one if nothing else.

Both beautifully built.   

 

The differences between kits are quite striking; the longer I looked, the more I noticed - especially the undercarriage, where the new mould has the right impression of weight, whereas the old one looks as though it’s about to levitate in comparison!
