From Trumpeter, so my guess is (probably) 1/32 scale.

Hi Jim

The prospect of a large-scale injection-moulded Swordfish at last is definitely exciting - but seeing those exagerrated stringers standing out like corrugated iron is a bit ominous! Let's hope the designers go for a more subtle effect on the finished article...

All the best

Hi Rowan,

To me the fuselage side seems to be transparent on the picture. Maybe the stringers you mention are in fact the interior details...

Hi Jean-Luc

Ahh - you could be right. That would explain the odd shine. Let's hope so.

All the best
