An injection-molded plastic model of the British carrier-borne torpedo biplane Fairey Swordfish Mk.II in 1:32 scale from Trumpeter. The large scale captures the character of this fabric-covered biplane with its open cockpits well, and the box holds photo-etched parts and a generous set of external stores: a torpedo, bombs and unguided rockets with their launch rails.
The Swordfish was a three-seat torpedo and reconnaissance biplane that served during the Second World War with the British Fleet Air Arm, the carrier air arm of the Royal Navy. Although its design was already obsolete at the start of the war, it achieved remarkable successes: it was famous for the strike against the Italian fleet at Taranto and for its part in sinking the battleship Bismarck. The Mk.II was distinguished by metal-covered lower wings, which allowed unguided rockets to be carried underneath. The aircraft was known for its toughness and for its ability to operate even in bad weather.
Glue the plastic parts with liquid cement for plastic and the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). On a biplane, seat the interplane struts carefully and add the bracing wires, best as thread tensioned after painting. Finish the open cockpits before closing the fuselage, mask the glazing and pick out the fabric surfaces with subtle shading.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
