"Thanks to Ken Ko for buying me this kit"

The lines connecting the rudder and the elevator are actually very fine fishing lines.

I've also added some wiring in the wing fold mechanism and the bomb racks under the wing. The pitot tube on the left wing is replaced by stainless steel tubing. 

I have add two sets of photo etched parts The first is the Tamiya 1/48 Fairey Swordfish Photo Etched Bracing Wire Set (61069).

The second Photo Etched set is from Eduard (No. 48308) and covers a variety of areas of the plane from cockpit to engine to bomb rack parts.

Decals are the original decals supplied with the kit, I took option B for the Bismarck attack.
