Hi Rob:

As I can see you´ll be modelling for a lifetime :-)
What did you use in rigging the Tamiya Swordfish Floatplane ? I have it in my list of builds for 2007 and I bought separetly the PE set. I´m not sure of using it. Your Swordfish is lookig good.

Hi Rob.
Some very interesting and diverse builds there!
Certainly enough to keep you busy for a long time to come.
How does the Swordfish build up? It a shame Tamiya dont do one in 1:72 as well.

Thanks for the kind words guy's,

Nige.

The Swordfish builds up nicely without to many vices, personally I would {not use the Tamiya PE for the wing rigging}, as the pic shows I replaced them with Polyester thread.

If this was released in 72 by Tamiya it would be a popular subject. A friend has the 72 Matchbox {wheeled version} kit who has asked for my help in rigging his subject.
Along with helping build a Heyford from an older Matchbox kit in full rigging.

Nice projects.

I've been looking for a good C130 and honestly am scared away by the prices. Is the Italeri kit worth the money?
