Shark and Swordfish

[dodgy-alan 1,587]

Blackburn Shark and Fairey Swordfish. Both contemporary aircraft in the late 1930s but although the Shark was actually the better aircraft in many ways, it was the Fairey Swordfish that stayed in front line service during WW2 whilst the Shark was relegated to second line duties. Both of these built a few years ago but brought out for a display the club is doing in May to celebrate RNAS Ford airfield centenary celebrations. The Airfield is not far from us and our club has been asked specifically to take part in their celebration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pair of them made their show debuts last saturday at Modelex 2018.

Thanks for viewing.

 Really nice job on these, and the ones in the other postings Alan. I'm sure I would not have steady enough hands for the lines you are painting...let alone the eyes for the job even with magnifiers.
