The Tamiya 1/48 kit of the Mk.II built for an IPMS/USA review. It is an 816 Sqn aircraft on "Cork"patrols in the Channel during the invasion; the invasion stripes are "sloppy" to rerpesent the hand-paint job in the 2-3 photos of these aircraft.

FROG Swordfish built in 1978 when I was in high school. Its the oldest surviving model in my collection, hence it's covered with dust. The rigging is the stretched sprue method.

Now that's a Swordfish with a lot of charm - Good one Jagawa!
