BIG Swordfish/Barracuda Groupie Group Build...
Manstein's revenge Posted: Mon, Jan 30 2012 12:51 PM Reply

Anyone out there interested in a Swordfish GB?   All scales and manufacturers welcomed, but I am partial to the new-tool Airfix 72nd scale one myself...

C'mon---dust off those overly-expensive Tamiya ones that have been sitting in your stash for the last decade and build 'em...

Vance does always seem to have a feel for cost saving construction techniques.

Napkins and straws?

Has he run out of Chapstick tubes?

For a Swordfish, however, ...........napkins and straws would be very appropriate...................Whistling

I think I've been conscripted.... Big Smile I'll take a crack at it this evening.

On the bench: Airfix 1/72 He177; SpecialHobby 1/72 Pucara; Hobbycraft 1/48 Seafire. And probably a cat when I'm not looking...

What about the field kitchen / mobile bakery unit (mbu) group build?  Is it ok to include "Top Bakers and Culinary Specialists of the Royal Navy" in this group build?
