Oooh, I see. Good work! I still face with the same problem too. I mix the Tamiyas colours, then I find out that the shade is not exact... In fact sometimes I make the same as you.

Hello, I was not satisfied with my recently finished Fujimi kit because of its wrong shape. The Zvezda kit is another chalenge but I have no detail informations about this kit (How it fits, shape etc.). So I am looking forward to see more about this build. Good luck with this build, Best regards, David

Congratulations to this straightforward build. Well done so far, I like it. -
Why do you ask for to be gently?? In this case it is matter of fact, because the engine and cockpit really looks incredible. I am looking forward to see a whole F-4U...

Well, it is a shame. But in this case you can repair it easy. You could get a new decals in the future. I have had the same problem on my old P-40... -

Fairey Swordfish Mk.I

I don´t know. I made the torpedo as it is because of lack any sources. Unfortunatelly I didn´t find any sources for Swordfish´s torpedos (but many for U-Boats) On the drawings is seen a torpedo with two propelers. I think it seems strange. So I hesitated how to make it. Finally I decided to make one prop with 4 blades. I think the two propellers would not appear well in this scale with my fiddly hands... Well, I know my torpedo is not 100% accurate...

Thanks again for looking. The work progress is very slow, however step by step I do some improvements and hope I will finish it... this year Brushed interior... I made some ipmrovements on engine. I have used the etched part from another kit and made exhaust piping etc... -
Awesome work on the interior , keep your effort... I am looking forward to see next... BTW: Walrus is very nice plane, I have to look for it. I am not sure if Revell Walrus is available now. There is also Valom Walrus in the market so I will see...

Hi, congratulations on finish this one nice Swordfish. Only one note: Are you sure if there is the same colours on upper wing and lower wing?? I think, on the lower wing (upper surfaces) should be another shades of colours, but I can not confirm it now... I did not study it yet, because my building is too far from airbrushing... David
