Faithful Model of the Fairey Swordfish Mk.I Floatplane

The Tamiya 61071 1/48 scale kit reproduces the Fairey Swordfish Mk.I Floatplane, a key naval aircraft from the Second World War. It reflects the type's service history and recognisable biplane appearance.

Accurate Airframe and Surface Detail

The kit portrays the cloth-over-steel frame construction with clear ribbing on wings and fuselage. Rivet and panel detail on the metal cowling are modelled to mirror the real aircraft.

Float Layout and Support Options

The floatplane variant is equipped with sizeable pontoon floats and small rudders, giving it a distinct look versus landplane versions. A wheeled display stand and a separate float storage stand are included for versatile presentation.

Cockpit, Powerplant and Ordnance

The open cockpit shows instrument panels and a wireless installation, and a rear revolving machine gun is provided. The Bristol Pegasus 3M radial engine is modelled in scale, and the kit contains a torpedo, bombs and three crew figures for period-accurate displays.
