Starting with the boxed 48 scale Floatplane version of the Mk I Fairey Swordfish and a little AM photoetch leftover from a previous build some years ago, some polyester thread and a few beter AM Deacals, for roundals and fin flashes, not to mention a lot of time spent on the wing brace rigging and control surface cables.
Using Humbrol enamels of #31/#123 on the upper surfaces over #64 on the lower, Model Master Metalizer for the collector ring and exhaust. The exhaust collector was not fitted to the cowling ring during the cammo application, which incidently is all done free hand.
The interior 'DOPED" section of the iner fuselage half was mixed and painted using Humbrol enamels #'s 132 and 133. I mixed 2 parts of #132 to 1 part #133 to create the "Close as Posible" doped fabric colour.
When dry the area was masked with Tamiya tape and Model Master RAF Interior Grey/Green was applied and the stringers were picked out by hand, the control surfaces cables were CA glued to their respective positions aligned to the pilot cockpit controls prior to cementing the interior framework to the fuselage and glueing the halves together.
The pix below are what detailed steps were taken and highlighted to the completed assembly and painting of this subject.
