| Prototypes worth modelling-The Fairey Swordfish.
Whilst not the easiest of subjects the Fairey Swordfish should not be ruled out because there is not a straight line anywhere this model has daunted many,however with a bit of pre-planning a workable model should result of this famous old Fleet air arm biplane.
Aerographics boldly kitted her for rubber/Co.2 power,Complete-A-Pak did a plan and there are others out there as well.
The biggest problem with models of this type is to keep them light yet strong,with that big radial engine up front she sure is draggy needing a big engine that will effectively drive a large propeller.
Certainly another candidate for folding wings just like the cleverly executed example recently discussed on the Parnall Elf model.Whichever way she would certainly be an eye catcher especially with a torpedo underslung.
