erniewise Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Hello Folks. Nearly there. Just the bomb and flare racks to go on. Then some touching up, some weathering followed by posh photos for the Gallery, hopefully mid next week. Radio aerial added. Torpedo and cradle attached. Torpedo sighting apparatus attached, need to be be touched in. Gratuitous cockpit shot. Just noticed that the extra range tank is on the squiff, luckily it's only held in by white tack!

JOCKNEY Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Terrific Job Erik, I especially like the beer barrel, where the extra crew member used to be. Essential on long journeys Cheers Pat 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erniewise Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Various greeblies attached and first run of weathering done. It's getting hard to pick up what with all the stuff hanging off of it! Away for work for a few days but I will be adding this to the gallery this weekend. Cheers Erik 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I'm glad I sold my Matchbox Swordfish, there's no way it could ever look any where near as amazing as yours. There has been some 'proper modelling' throughout your build, and a very, very fine result to show for your efforts. Better done properly than rushed for the Gallery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
