against the odds i know but attempting to build a 1/72 swordfish out of 3 difrent kits ( all missing parts ) and no decals
hoping to include rigging and hoping to finnish today ( or as soon as possible

I wish you good luck mate, and will keep watching.

Tony

Good luck- looking forward to the progress photos!

also discovered they were the wrong instructions so now working without instructions ..

cocpit done , fuselage joined , engine and exhaust mounted , cowling filled because of bad sink marks .

Ok, three kits but no instructions. I guess it's best to wish you even more good luck. You've come a good bit so keep going forward!

Tony

sorted out now , there is one complete kit amongst all the parts for three ( unfortunately it wasn't the one with etched brass , the instructions pictured were for another swordfish kit but helped

actual build close to completion bar parts of rigging , nearly ready for paint and decals

loads of pieces ready to scrap
( that is of course unless someone has a 1/72 swordfish with missing parts )

Any more photos for us Paul?

appologies !! , here's where i'd got up to by 10pm monday night a late afternoon / evening build !

will hopefuly finnish tonight

a little tidying and decaling and it should be ok

when i said speed build i intended either the same day or the day after !!

unfortunately other things got in the way , but it is now finnished

with i guess about 8 hrs total building time !!

not perfect but a rough representation

Oh yes. Yor day became a week, but I'm aiming for a week on my present Bf 109, so I guess I'll end up with a month. (Or a year)

blimey..you even put stripes all over it ..how on earth did you manage that ?!

they were painted freehand by brush for speed , mixture of enamels and acrylics
