Plastic / aircraft model assembly kit

[Veteran torpedo with floats, active in observation mission] British Royal Navy's flagship torpedo swordfish Mk.I during World War II. The main landing gear was designed so that it could be replaced with a float and operated as a seaplane. It was mounted on many battleships and cruisers for landing observation and patrol, especially in the Battle of Narvik on April 13, 1940, the warship warspite-equipped aircraft launched for landing observation and bombing missions, contributing to the sinking of seven German destroyers In addition, the results of bombing and sinking the submarine U-64 were raised. This is a plastic model assembly kit that accurately reproduces this Swordfish Mk.I watercraft type. A solidly designed aircraft, such as the biplane main wings supported by the props, has been modeled in a rich sense. Also includes ground transportation cart and parking support. There are two types of markings, including the 701th Catapult Squadron affiliation machine.
