“As a modeler, I found it hard to resist adding it to my collection,” says Bob of his Tamiya 1/48 scale Fairey Swordfish. “The model is a challenge, not even considering the rigging.” He used 10-pound fishing line, allowing him to heat-shrink it with a hair dryer to tighten it up. “I avoided the madness of individual turnbuckles, which an expert modeler probably could do, by using some photoetched-metal parts,” he says.
