Corgi Fairey Swordfish Mk.II, S NF243, Fleet Air Arm, 816 NAS, July 1944

REF:AA36305 Scale 1.72 Wingspan 193mm New Release

With folding wings, detailed crew and weapons this superb Fairey Swordfish Mk.II has to be one of the finest models from Corgi in a long time.

Entering service in the late-1930s, the Swordfish was to carry many different schemes during its service career. The earliest Swordfish were finished in aluminium dope on all fabric surfaces and cerrux grey on all metal surfaces. Additional markings were a coloured fuselage band to indicate assigned ship and a large number to show the individual aircraft's number within the Fleet Air Arm. Avialiable from the die-cast-collector.co.uk website.
