1/48 Tamyia Swordfish

--------------------

 

Greetings everyone.  Here's some photos of my 1/48 Tamyia Swordfish.

The following are additions to the model: 

  • 1. For the engine, I made the mounting ring, braces and oil lines. Made the torpedo aiming bars, atop the cowl, steps on the landing gear struts and loops at the wing tips. I also drilled all the holes for the rigging wires. For the rigging wires I used the smallest spring wire available. For the rest I used the parts from the kit.

  • 2. For the paint job, I used "Humbrol" paints, for both interior and exterior.

  • 3. For the markings, I used the decals that came with the kit.

Overall, I found the kit of good quality and easy to work with.
