Great job ian , it looks fantastic. Nice base and the scratchbuilt tail and rudder look perfect. Super result from a golden oldie !(the kit i mean , not you!!!) cheers tony

Nice result. I like it when someone takes a 'classic' kit and manages to produce a good model from it.

I've been watching this build with interest. The Swordfish was my Old Man's favourite aircraft and the only one he ever got a flight in, I'm sure he'd have loved what you've done with this kit, a marvelous job

Very nice, Ian! What did you use for the rigging?

papa 695 · Oct 29, 2011

Hi Alex i used fishing line for the rigging the good thing about it is when its all glued up if its a bit slack you can use a little heat and it shrinks and pulls tight but be carefull not too much

AJay · Oct 29, 2011

Thanks, Ian. It's worked very well.

As a side note, I was recently looking at WWI bi and tri-planes and was tempted to build one some day. There really are some wonderful colour schemes to go with and the kits are cheap.

papa 695 · Oct 29, 2011

No problems Alex thats what were here for to help each other out. ps what you working on that needs wires

Nothing at the moment, but I may consider something in the future. Too many ideas and an extreme lack of get up and go at the moment....haha
