Scale Representation of the Fairey Swordfish Mk.II

The Fairey Swordfish Mk.II earned its place as a versatile WWII naval biplane, taking on anti-submarine and strike missions despite its vintage layout. The Mk.II's metal lower wings allowed it to dispense rockets and depth charges, extending its usefulness in escort and patrol tasks.

What the Kit Offers and Builder Tips

The Tamiya 61099 kit delivers a faithful 1/48 representation with molded details highlighting the large oil cooler and metal lower wings.
