"Great One"
Rhodesian Infantry (USA)
This is an excellent model of a ww2 plane that sunk the Italian fleet at Taranto and the Bismarck in ww2. Made on new machinery, no flash, good detail, full color instructions and paint guide for 2 versions. It did not include a pilot so I added 2 from aftermarket. I hung it on my son ceiling. It is made in the UK.

"An Exellent representation of an under represented aircraft"
killblock623 (killblock540@gmail.com)
I very much like this kit of the Swordfish. In my opinion, it is the best model of the swordfish available in this scale. It is more detailed then the Revell kit (which is still a good good) and is also newer, which means that the molds are more fresh, leaving less excess plastic. The only issue that I had was that it was hard to fit the two sides of the fuselage around the cockpit, which is one large assembly of parts. Even with this, however, this kit still builds up into a very detailed and accurate representation of the Swordfish. To top it off, the kit even allows you of a choice of torpedos or rockets. I would recommend this kit to any modeler, even newer ones.
