Very clever and well done. How was the rest of the new Airfix kit? You certainly made her look good!
The new Airfix tooling is a very nice kit.
Plastic is a little soft (because of the scale thickness of some parts) but quite manageable if not ham fisted.
The wings, while logical still need a little fettling and some bits were lopped off so they would fit together.
You also get a trolley and torp nicely modelled.
The figures are from the Revel BoB set. You don’t get any figures with the new Airfix kit ???
You can see the build here

They’ve turned out very nicely! Nicely executed dioramas too.

Thanks. Certainly a very nice piece of work…

I guess it could be. That particular Swordfish took part in the attack on the Bismark which crippled her, if infact it isn’t the one that did hit her (not sure).
I had intended to have the Swordfish attacking with the torp in the water but the perspective thing didn’t quite work. So I had it diving into attack from altitude.
Bismark Fish is 1:72nd Revell.
The other is the Airfix new tooling. Quite impressed by the quality of the decals. They rearly conformed to all the lumps and bumps quite well. With the help of Decal Set and Decal soft that it.

Very much indeed. Excellent!:) Is it a Channel Dash diorama? You had posted them on the Unusual Hobby thread but they were a bit out of place there – here they are perfect.
