Poo !

Ian

Double poo! :-\

Looks like a whole load of poo to me.  Mr. Airfix seems about knee deep at that moment.  Should I add a load and make it hip deep?  ;D

Is the Swordfish a new casting or a rtepop of the old?

They had 4 built at Telford Geoff, and it looked gorgeous  :bow: I want 2 so I can do both the wings folded and wings out options, 1 pre-war, 1 wartime

Does it come with floats as well?

Nope it's either the pre-war Torpedo or a Taranto Bomber, however now they created the new mould it wouldn't surprise me to see them do an ASW version and even the Floatplane.

I want a pair and I don't do biplanes!  The Tarranto raid is high on my list of must haves.

The test shots at Telford looked spectacular.  Tony O'Toole is building one of the early ones as a review sample and he reckons it's the best kit Airfix have ever done and better than the Tamiya 48th one.

I've heard the Gnat is put back to Feb but we may see the Swordfish next month

Your right Geoff, I was asking the Rep yesterday why we hadn't had the Gnat delivered on Monday with the rest of the stuff we got and he said the samething, been put back but he wouldn't say why....... :banghead: :banghead:

Wonder what a Swordfish would look like in a USN yellow wings scheme?   :wub:

Superb?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
