Re: Splash's Swordfish ***Finished***
Thanks for all the kind feedback, this really was a pleasure to build a true Matchbox classic.
If anyone is looking for a good first Bi-plane this should be on the top of you list, the construction of the wings makes it easy to align the struts giving you a strong set of wings that helps if like me you are ham fisted.

My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Nice job, I bought a couple of these after I failed at the new tool Airfix one and I have to say the Matchbox kit is a pleasure to build.
