Fairey Swordfish Mk.II: Naval Biplane Recreated in Scale

The Fairey Swordfish Mk.II served in multiple naval roles during WWII, from torpedo strikes to convoy patrols. The Mk.II variant is noted for its metal lower wings which enabled rocket and depth charge carriage, giving it a new tactical edge over earlier versions.

Kit Contents and Assembly Observations
