I've achieved two major things today. The first was joining this forum and the second, opening the box of my 1:32 Swordfish! I'm now wondering where the hell all the bits go. I work with model cars for a living and have recently returned to aircraft as a relaxation. I'm not quite as relaxed now I've been through the box but I'm sure I'll find out more in time and get good advice from everyone out there! ..John Roberts

it looks very much like the Tamiya model
Hi somersetflyer just follow the instructions stage by stage and you will not go wrong but don,t try to skip or do anything different or you will have problems if you get stuck just ask for help i should be able to give some advice as i have already built the swordfish and trackend trust me this kit is not the tamiya model its far better.BB
A beauty BB, I love that machine gun on the rear! I suggest you build Trumpeters 1/32 Avenger 
It is expensive though, so if you choose something else then by all means. Also, start posting these in the completed builds section, a lot of people are missing your art work!

Catch22
Major
I myself am very tempted to go after an Avenger, but that will wait for now, as I've got a stash I need to get through first! I don't want to be like Wayne or others and die with 100 + models sitting in a closet, nor will my parents let me! We're running out of room to display the things, and now we're also running out of room to store the boxes of the ones waiting to be built!

Or just buy Navy planes and have the wings folded!
My ceiling's full, and between my brother and I (more me, as he takes forever to finish a model), we're filling up the bookshelves in our basement, and I've had to disassemble some of my Star Wars Lego that I've had for years to make room. And the stuff in my stash isn't small either, I've got a Hs 129 in 1/48 (ok, not that big) but a 1/32 Stuka plus a 1/350th USS Franklin! I have a spot for the Franklin planned, but nothing else.
Sorry BB, you can have your thread back now!

100+!? If only. Try 300+! And that's after getting rid of about half of them. They won't need to fill my grave in with dirt - just shovel all my unbuilt kits and models on top of me, that should do the trick. They'll even have some left over to make a monument to me and the epitaph would read "A man's reach should exceed his grasp.", or some other such rubbish.

The biggest ones I have now are the 1/48 B17 and 1/48 PBY / OA Catalina. Then I have a bunch of 1/72's, not a lot but for the space I have it cant compare. I could say I have about 10 kits, maybe 2 plus or less, not going to count.
Why doesnt your brother go active on here and share his work? (Or has he?)
