Looks ace, I still need to pick up the normal variant.

The Swordfish is possibly the finest aircraft kit to have appeared in an Airfix box. Get one (or several).

Have a couple of the original boxings and it is a super kit Floyd.
I can't really justify getting another Stringbag.
But this one will look so sweet next to a Seafox...

Would also be really cool to build a catapult to display them on.

Hurray!! Been waiting seemingly forever for this. I even embargo'd myself from getting the not floatplane version because I knew this one was coming out :)

Just bagged one :aah:
Tried to resist but they were still warm just in and capitulated after 5 seconds.

Will just show the extra bits and decals:

One extra sprue that has the floats, spars and beaching equipment.
Not checked but looking quickly at the instructions all the stores are included. Lots of plastic for £16.

The panel lines on the look acceptable to me. Some may find them overstated, but seem to have crisper edges similar to more recent releases.

Hope the photos are acceptable, otherwise will try and take better pics.
