That's a beautifully finished model, Ryszard. I think the Swordfish looks really good on floats, and yours is no exception.
Did you use the Tamiya etched bracing wires set and, if so, what was your experience with it?

Cheers

. It is not for novices, but it should be installed in the model, because it looks more realistic.
I personally I had no difficulty in mounting, I recommend these photoetched

That's really nice, Richard. Are you willing to submit it for a feature article?

Very nice Swordfish, I have yet to make the Tamiya kit in the stash but modified the SMER kit to a bit better standard than original kit.
