Looks like an excellent kit. I would not know were to put after having build it, but looks great and the inclusion of a clear fuselage is cool. Thanks for the update, Jean-Luc.

I really liked the looks of the Tamiya kit, but never got it. This one looks great also.

Gadzooks and Hot Marimba! Look what just landed at my door. Delivery man says he has to go get hernia operation. Evidently the Fairey Swordfish II had metal lower wings to enable the mounting of rockets, introduced in 1943.
