  In connection with my last work in ARC which was a Revell Mig-21F-13, I hereby present Swordfish MK I, another Revell bird in 72nd scale.

  This kit was again made straight out of the box and really looked good in some aspects. The resembling was, again, a smooth one.  The painting and marking used here was based on the Swordfishes used in an action of sinking German battle ship Bismarck in 1941.

  Overall, the kit was good although it was a co-works of matchbox's version. 

  I hope all of you will enjoy my works!
