Here is the ugly Swordfish conversion promised.

A nod to the Vickers Valentia it is a transport /light bomber from the 1930's it found it's niche in Africa and the Middle East in Tribal policing duties.

 ;D It definitely fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down

I was suprised how big a Swordfish actually is it fits fairly comfortably onto a Dragon Rapide body which carries 2or 3 times the number of people. It was a big Biplane

Definitely redefines "ugly!"  But it also redefines "Cool," too!

Outstanding!

 So both the donor kits are 1/72?! I would have guessed the Swordfish to be 1/48th...

Regardless, its a great looking concept!
