I want to build a swordfish. Preferably 1/72.
There doesn't seem to be much available. What is recommended at 1/72? Would I be better of biting the bullet and going for the Tamiya 1/48?

The Tamiya kit is absolutely wonderful but if you're looking for 1/72 the kit to get is the newly-issued Airfix kit. Here's a look into the box.

Thanks Jessie. I have seen the Airfix box at the lhs. I will pick one up.
