Upgrade Rigging for a More Accurate Swordfish

Scale modellers can refine their build with the Tamiya 61069 1/48 Fairey Swordfish Bracing Wire Set, a dedicated detail-up pack for biplane kits. The photo-etched metal reproduces the flat bracing wires that characterise the original aircraft's structure.

True-to-Scale Metal Parts

The set supplies finely etched wires and includes sights for torpedo and machine gun positions to increase historical fidelity. Instant cement is recommended for secure, fast adhesion when installing these small metal pieces.

Modeling Insight

Precision and patience are essential when fitting this set, making it an ideal upgrade for builders with experience in photo-etch work. A careful installation produces a noticeably more authentic display model.

  • Scale: 1/48

Is this item straightforward to attach for an intermediate modeller?

Intermediate modellers familiar with photo-etch parts should find it manageable, though small-scale fiddliness and careful alignment are required for a neat result.

Will installing these parts change how I finish the model?

After fitting, you may wish to touch up paint around attachment points and apply a protective clear coat to metal areas to match the surrounding finish.

Are there suggested tools for working with the etched parts?

Fine tweezers, a small bending tool or flat-nosed pliers, and a magnifier will help you position and bend the etched pieces accurately during assembly.
