Sting of the Swordfish - Fairey Swordfish

[Nils]

In my series of refurbishing old  models I did in the past, back from when I started doing 3D models, I had two Swordfish models, a wheeled and one with floats. that really need attention.
They were both terrible basic in design.
So here’s my (almost) completely rebuilt Swordfish Mk1, aligning up for an attack on Bismarck (ok ok I know there’s been done dozens of images with Swordfish and Bismarck, but too me it was too tempting to ignore.. Perhaps I come with something more interesting later.

And the float version will come later, maybe accompanied by a RN battleship, QE or something.

More excellent work Nils, and even if it's a recognisable scene it's still really evocative and a fine tribute to some very brave airmen!
