Airifx Supermarine Swift FR5


Recommended Posts

Latest one finished. Used the decals from the Xtrakit and the belly tank from Freightdog Models. The decals do seem to be the correct size to my eyes. No major problems but the tailplanes are a difficult to get a positive fit. Also the pitot tube was replaced with some Albion Alloy tubing. Painted with Xtracrylix for the DSG/DG and Humbrol Acrylic for the PRU Blue.Special thanks to Jason (Jasman71) who provided the nosewheel assembly as mine went missing in action.

*Note, canopy framing amended since photos taken*

A very smart looking Swift. That's the first one I've seen with the transitional 79/4 sqn markings. Glad to hear it went together ok as there's been quite a lot of debate here about fit.

Very nice indeed and those are the same markings that I`ve chosen for mine when it is finished. I wasn`t sure whether to go for silver or PRU Blue undersides!,

Cheers

Thanks for the comments guys.

Tony - The only picture I could find which was black and white and not that great showed the underside to be 'dark', so went for the PRU Blue.
