Swordfish Mk II conversion-

Mar 19, 2005 1 Replies

any lines on what's involved other than bigger oil cooler for converting the Tamiya Stringbag? Scored a set of Aeromaster decals with a cool SEAC paint scheme from Ceylon, and it's a MK II.


The Mk II had metal lower wing, which allowed the carriage and firing of rockets. As you noted above, it also had a an enlarged oil cooler. The metal wings look *very* different from the fabric ones on the kit. However, MDC provide a conversion kit for this aircraft. If you need the long range fuel tank, that is also available, as well as various detail sets.
