Transparent Fairey Swordfish Mk.I 1/48 Scale Summary

Tamiya 61079 brings the Fairey Swordfish Mk.I to life at 1/48 scale with transparent sections for an inside look at the structure. The kit is intended for builders who want both visual interest and faithful engineering detail.

Notable Operational Use and Specs

The Swordfish proved its worth in operations such as the 1940 Taranto raid, prized for strength and payload options. Its Bristol Pegasus radial engine allowed a top speed near 220 km/h, combining endurance with useful carrying capability.

Modelling Benefits

Clear parts reveal internal bracing and cockpit arrangement, helping modellers appreciate construction while assembling. The kit's precise molding supports accurate finishing for collectors and display purposes.

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

Do I need special paints for clear parts?

Use paints formulated for plastic and avoid thinning agents that cloud clear parts. Masking and careful brush or airbrush technique will keep transparency intact.

Can I install lighting or figures inside?

There is space for small LEDs in some areas, and tiny figures can be posed in the cockpit, but plan placement before final assembly to preserve clear panels.

What adhesives work best with clear components?

Use clear-safe glues or cyanoacrylate sparingly. Apply with a fine applicator to avoid fogging; test on sprue scrap first.
