MC, that is an amazing stringbag. Your work is far better than you realize. I don't think my Swordfish would look this good of I built one. Great job and keep it coming.

The Tamiya Swordfish is on top of my wish list. Looking pretty good MC!!! What did you use for eyelets / turnbuckles?

Thank you Mark, how are you feeling?

Blacksheep, I used the Tamiya PE. Apparently the ridding on later British Bi-plans were flat. The kit instructions include the PE steps for those who bought them.

You're welcome Blacksheep. I'm doing good so far.

Sorry it's been so long but I've had some commissions and other builds that sidelined the Stringbag. I just have a few more things to do then it will be complete.

I am a bit late with following this tread but I must say I love the work that you did on the engine!

Looks good!

OK gentlemen, I'm done. Sorry it took me so long to complete it.
I finally completed the Swordfish. It was a super nice kit. the pieces fit like a glove. One piece of advice though. If you are using the Tamaya PE set, put the wings together in sequence of the instructions. I can remember why I didn't but the rigging was a nightmare afterward. Following the instructions would have been far easier.
Now back to the Prince of Wales and my return to Boise in May.

Or, "Butter my butt and call me a biscuit!". A hearty second to Joes's comments. Wow.
