I started this little kit by paiting the inside of the fabric to represent the red dope used.

The swordfish can be a tricky build. Yours looks wonderful!

With a job like this I have learned to do a section and set it asside before boredom sets in and mistakes happen.
Here it is, I planed to have both wings folded but saw that it hid the whole cockpit.

Real nice work Theuns! Love the rigging. You did great work there. E-Z line works nice.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Excellent rigging Theuns!
That's fantastic, especially in small scale. What a job you did with the kit!
Thanx
Beautiful job there. The rigging looks great. One small quibble, at least for an old, slightly OCD senior like me. The engine gear casing through which the prop shaft goes, should be painted black. Airfix instructs you to use Humbrol 85, semi-gloss black. Other than that, yours is a most excellent build.
