What I'm proposing is this.. A subject last visited in 2013, so well overdue for a revisit. I built this Fujimi FG1 Phantom. An Airfix Phantom, Airfix Sea Vixen, Revell Gannet, Sword Gannet, and Sword Harrier T4 to choose from - I'm in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafwaffe Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I've had an urge to build a Fulmar or Swordfish for some reason for years. Add me to the list please If this get's up can I build an RAF utilised Fulmar or Swordfish, or would my build have have to be a FAA utilised Fulmar or Swordfish?

Since these were originally flown from carriers and I'm assuming these Fulmar and Swordfish were part of RAF Coastal Command and used against shipping I can't see why not. But I do want to keep it as close to Fleet Air Arm as much as possible.

Graham Boak Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I don't think that the RAF operated any Fulmars, although the Vichy French did have one. RAF operation of the Swordfish was very late in the war on night anti-E-boat operations in the Channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Live and learn. Thank you. I still think the French one would be more interesting, or perhaps one of the Mediterranean ones with the mottled leading edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Heather, Swordfish 812 Sq was attached to RAF Coastal Command to assist in attack to the low counties and the Dunkirk Evacuation then transferred back to FAA March 1941 for Mediterranean duty.

Adam Poultney Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Could build a Buccaneer, I'd quite like an S1 based on the recent Airfix kit. I already have an S2C. Or maybe a Sea Vixen, if I could get hold of an FAW.1 in 1/72. Could even do a Seafire. Plenty of good options for this. or ...... maybe ........ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I'd definitely be interested. I've got FM-2, Westland Dragonfly and a lovely Miniwing Sea Vixen in the stash along with some carrier deck details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign me up Excellent great to see such quality parenting on show here. Well as Chris aka @dogsbodywas kind enough some time ago to furnish me with decals for a Taranto Swordfish it would be just plain rude not to build it in the GB, so please add me to your list. Now can we get Chris to join..... Cheers Pat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
