A photo-etched add-on set for the model of the Fairey Swordfish Mk. II carrier torpedo biplane in 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Fairey Swordfish was a British carrier torpedo biplane that served with the Fleet Air Arm throughout the Second World War, although it already looked obsolete at its start. Open cockpits, fabric covering and a fixed landing gear did not stop it from writing itself into history: the attack on the Italian ships at Taranto and the hit on the rudder of the battleship Bismarck are among the best known actions of naval aviation. The Mk. II version received a lower wing with metal skinning, which could take underwing stores.
A biplane is a rewarding subject for an add-on set. Between the wings, in the open cockpits and around the landing gear everything is visible, and every part that comes out too thick in plastic is glaring there. Photo-etched sheet is a few hundredths of a millimeter thick, so once replaced, the edges and the small elements match reality far better. The range of parts and the kit the set is tailored for are given in the manufacturer's instructions.
Cut the parts out with a sharp blade on a hard surface, never break them off. Make the bends along the scored lines and finish them in a photo-etch bending tool or between two blades. Glue with a minute amount of super glue; any excess dries white and is hard to remove on a visible spot. Degrease the metal before painting and spray it with a primer. Fit the parts that go into the cockpits before you close up the fuselage, because afterwards you will not reach them.
The aircraft kit, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
