What colors did you use? Ralph. Model Master Enamels RAF Dark Sea Grey Dark Green fs34079 RAF Sky type S ANA 610 For the life of me I can't remember what oils I used for tone variation and fading(Dotting)........and then a mixture of brown and black pastel(heavily diluted for general "grunging",sealed with testors dull coat.Get the kit,its fun! I strongly recommend ignoring the pe rigging,and going the Gas Patch turnbuckle route however.

Spitfire Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Great job, I have one of those hiding in the loft, but the rigging always puts me off ! Cheers Dennis 1
Woodshedwings Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Looks great Guy. My Dad is ex Fleet Air Arm and there used to be a Swordfish parked outside the Chief Petty Officers Mess at HMS Daedalus, where he was based. Fond memories of seeing this, as a kid. 1
Matt_ Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Love the weathering of the camo on upper wings... really does look battered and faded by sun and sea. Matt 1
