Capture a Protector of the Convoys with the Swordfish Mk.II, a Detailed 1/48 Tamiya Replica with Rockets, Radar and Three Crew Figures
Key Features
Overview
Famous for its daring torpedo attacks, the Fairey Swordfish took on the vital but less glamorous role of an anti-submarine hunter in the latter half of WWII. The Mk.II variant, introduced in 1943, featured metal lower wings, allowing it to carry a formidable payload of rockets. Flying from the decks of escort carriers, these rugged biplanes helped protect the vital Atlantic convoys and sank 20 U-boats by the war's end.
This 1/48 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of the anti-submarine "Stringbag." The model accurately reproduces the specific features of the Mk.II, including its metal lower wings and radar antenna array. It features an ultra-detailed cockpit, the option to build the main wings in the folded position, a full set of ordnance, three crew figures, and three different marking options.
