garcor Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello everyone, Tamiya Swordfish finished with Vallejo acrylics, e-z line for the rigging. Great kit to build, the markings were made from the kit decals. All the best Gary 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Superb Swordfish. Well done with the rigging.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Really great Swordfish! But the size of your photos border on the ridiculous: 4600x3450 pixels! They cover all of my 5K 27" screen! 50% of that size is plenty enough. 😉 B----y good model, though. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 What a lovely model. I really struggle to paint small details like the pilots so appreciate what work must have gone into them to make them look so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanfrandragon Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Really nice model! Does it come with the crew? They look excellent. Love the colour of the fish, it looks menacing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark444 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Really well done. How did you find the overall build quality of the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcor Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Cheers everybody, Apologies for the size of the pictures, I never checked that! Apart from the rigging ( and you can buy a photo etch Tamiya rigging set separately for the swordfish) everything you see was included in the box. I built this for one of my relatives for display so used ez-line for the rigging as it's more forgiving if it is handled. You may notice I left off the rudder and elevator control lines, it displayed in the open and I wanted to minimise chance of damage. It is a very nice kit to build I had no problems and no filler needed! Thanks for the kind words Enjoy your plastic! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael51 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Exceptionally fine work. The crew members set it off very well, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
