Electric-Powered Ww Ii British Biplane HOMEBUILT BY ROBERT CASO Although nearly obsolete when WW II fbegan, the Fairey Swordfish generated an impressive combat record with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and Navy (RN). Although it served with distinction, it’s most famous for its 1941 attack and disablement of the German battleship Bismarck. Referred to as the “Stringbag” by its crews, a few Swordfish survive today, mostly in England, and some even fly at airshows. I designed the model using 3-views contained in Hall Park Books’ “Warpaint Series No.12: Fairey Swordfish,” which features many detail photos and color drawings. Framing the model goes pretty quickly. If you’ve built one or two models, the Stringbag is a snap. CONSTRUCTION Building the Swordfish is not at all difficult but requires some kit-building experience. The fuselage is built using an internal frame that the formers are glued to. This is done with the frame flat on the building board with the parts assembled upside-down. The bottom halves of the formers and associated parts are glued into place first. The structure is then removed from the building board, and the top halves of the formers are added. Some bulk- heads are made of two 1⁄16-inch layers of balsa that are laminated together to form a cross-grain 1⁄8-inch-thick part. Some formers require a scrap piece of 1⁄32-inch The dummy radial engine detail balsa to improve their strength.

  • Tamiya's Fairey Swordfish
    Tamiya’s Fairey Swordfish by Dick Smith When the British entered World War II, their main torpedo bomber was a slow, obsolete bi-plane that had made its maiden flight nearly ten years earlier. With its fixed landing gear and lumbering appearance, the Fairey Swordfish had a top speed of only 220 miles per hour. But on the night of November 20, 1940, that speed was enough to take twelve Swordfish from the deck of the British aircraft carrier Illustrious to the harbor of Taranto where the men of the Italian fleet slept. At eleven o’clock, under a moonlit sky, twelve Swordfish attacked and sunk or severely damaged six Italian battleships along with several other vessels in the fleet. A second wave of Swordfish, an hour later, put the final touches on one of the most famous British victories in World War II. Tamiya’s 1/48th scale Swordfish Mk.1 was released in 1999 and was one of the company’s new line of “super kits.” The model features a complete interior, which leaves almost nothing for the aftermarket resin suppliers to produce. Construction starts with the jam-packed cockpit. First on the list is the pilot’s position. The floor and the accompanying bracing are painted with Model Master RAF Interior Green. The scuff plates in front of the rudder pedals are flat aluminum. The rudder pedals, seat adjustment lever are picked out in flat aluminum and flat black. The seat is RAF Interior Green with Model Master “leather” for the seat back. I made seat belts from strips of typing paper and used buckles from an IPMS photo-etched brass set.

    BETTER….FASTER…… FURTHER….BRAVER….. Fleet Air Arm Record Breakers & Medal Winners Quiz The Fleet Air Arm has achieved many technological firsts and broken many records in a century of Naval Aviation. The bravery of Fleet Air Arm aircrews has won them many medals, including four Victoria Crosses.

Recordbreakersmarch2013Ed1 ©FleetAirArmMuseum2013 Hall 1 RECORD BREAKER Early aircra made by the Short brothers were great record breakers. In June 1910, the S38, an aircra very similar to the S27 on display, achieved the record for the highest flight. It flew at 1180 feet: not very high by today’s standards but breath-taking then. The S27 was the first aeroplane to fly from a moving ship and it won an endurance record in 1912 when it flew 4 hours non-stop.

Taranto is often described as the precursor or blueprint for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor 13 months later, but that is something of an exaggeration. Adm.
