here is my attempt at the Co-operativa kit. The insructions did not include any info on the addition of the floats,so I did the reference thing and this is what I got ..shes basically out-of box and comes with a great resin intirior!





sorry about the crappy pics

Hi Jim.
You might describe the pictures as a bit crappy but youve certainly made a nice job of the Swordfish.
Nice one!!

Many Thanks Nigel..you are far too kind. Although to my suprise she took gold at the last Exeter show in Canada here for multi-wing rigged aircraft.

Jim , fantastic build ! I really like it . Did you use hair for the rigging on this one . pic's aren't that bad at all . better then what my turn out most of the time .

Thanks for sharing

The judges obviously know a quality buid when they see one as well.
Congratulations on the Gold

Yes Terri ...once again my long-suffering wife has kindly donated her follicles to my madness....and Thanks Nigel. You have no idea how complimented I feel by your appreciation of my swordfish.Here is my other Swordfish based on the Bismark attack. This one took Gold at Torcan a few years ago..






once again the Co-operativa kit. A VERY nice little kit if you like Swordfish(as I do).
These kits were testbeds for the 1:48 Tamiya Swordfish which I have fermenting in my model closet

Very nice Swordfish and remarkable detailing at that scale too.

Thanks,Alex
