II Review: Not the Bismarck sinker but still cool WWII biplane - Not many Allied biplanes made an impact in WWII but the Swordfish was one of the few. Regardless of weapons bombs, rockets or torpedos , the Swordfish played an important role in British naval victory. The Tamiya model is not the one that sunk the Bismarck but is still excellent in every respect. Well molded wings and weapons make this one a challenge but worth the effort. Give this one a 5 for excellence. Review: A Challenging and Beautiful Model Airplane - Building the Fairey Swordfish took time, patience, attention to detail and careful dry-fitting of parts with multiple connection points, but the result was an all-time favorite model airplane that I can't imagine ever being beat. Ordering the aftermarket kit was a worthy additional expense to create the bi-plane rigging. This was a challenging build, but the finished kit is colorful, detailed, and fascinating to look at---what more could you ask for? I recently took it off my display shelf to hang as if in flight and it looks even better! ## Features - The leader in hobby products around the world - Made using the highest quality components and materials - Test for durabitlity and safety - Includes such accessories as anti-ship rockets, smoke floats, and extra fuel tank. - Realistic surface texture recreates fabric covering on metal frame structure. - 1/48 Scale Aircraft ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000NNK0CC | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | model kit | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (249) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344610990 | | Included Components | MODEL KIT | | Item Dimensions | 8.91 x 11.37 x 3.08 inches | | Item Type Name | MODEL KIT | | Item Weight | 14.08 ounces | | Manufacturer | TAMIYA | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Fairey Swordfish Mk.II | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Scale | 1:48 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | Small | | Subject Character | Aircraft | | Theme | Military | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** TAMIYA - **Color:** Multicolor - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8.91 x 11.37 x 3.08 inches - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![Models Fairey Swordfish Mk.II Model Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BFW6qsjsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the Bismarck sinker but still cool WWII biplane *by N***R on May 4, 2024* Not many Allied biplanes made an impact in WWII but the Swordfish was one of the few.
