Specifications

The Swordfish biplane - the legendary "Stringbag " - was designed in 1934 to meet the Air Ministry?s requirement for an aeroplane in the Torpedo-Spotter-Reconnaissance (TSR) category. Produced in substantial numbers by the Fairey and Blackburn companies, it became a real workhorse of the Fleet Air Arm fulfilling search and anti-shipping roles, destroying enemy surface vessels and U-Boats and carrying out escort duties with convoys. By 1944 almost 2,400 Swordfish had been completed.
The publication has 28 pages, including a total of 44 overall and detailed photographs, 13 pages with colour camouflage schemes and their description. Text in English. A comprehensive decal sheet is added for modellers? convenience. Two variants of this title are available, one including 1/48th scale decal sheet (MKD48013; 1x 250x200 mm sheet) and another one with 1/72nd transfers (MKD72013; 1x 200x165 mm sheet).
This edition also includes a bonus - an extra decal option, the thirteenth in a dozen, while additional colour profiles are also included to cover another aeroplane.
