1/48 Clear-Part Fairey Swordfish Mk.I Overview

The Tamiya 61079 transparent Fairey Swordfish Mk.I kit offers a transparent view of the biplane's internal form at 1/48 scale. Builders can examine frame details while putting together a faithful wartime replica.

Service History and Performance

The Fairey Swordfish earned distinction in naval strikes like Taranto in 1940, valued for its rugged build and load capacity. It used a Bristol Pegasus radial engine and cruised at approximately 220 km/h, proving effective despite modest speed.

Suitability for Detailed Builds

With clear components, this kit is aimed at modellers who enjoy revealing structural elements. Accurate molding and authentic cockpit and engine detail make it suitable for display or diorama projects.

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic with clear parts
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly and painting
  • Features: Detailed cockpit, radial engine, and weaponry options

Will the clear parts scratch easily?

Clear plastic can mark if handled roughly. Keep parts on sprues until needed, use soft cloths, and avoid harsh solvents on transparent surfaces.

Are extra detailing parts required?

The kit has comprehensive details, but modellers may add aftermarket decals or photo-etch for finer cockpit fittings if desired.

How should I handle rigging on this biplane?

Use fine thread or stretched sprue for rigging and tension carefully. Fit and paint masts and struts before final rigging to keep lines tidy.
