Here is another
example of Tamiya's finest, the Fairey Swordfish. Both kits are unique in that I
added scratch material as needed without purchasing the required PE sets to
complete the model. This is my way of building many quality models on top of
buying the items at Ebay for about half of the retail price.

The Swordfish with
the D-Day invasion stripes represents a partial conversion to Mk III using spare
kit parts and scratch made parts.
I did not complete the conversion
with the addition of an oil filter and remove the torpedo rack in order to
retain the appealing looks of the model. The same non historic in-accuracy goes
for the serial number, which is pure speculative.
