Overall a pretty enjoyable build. The only real "fit issues" were at the nose, that took a little work in a crowded, tight-tolerance area. I also read a printed magazine review in which the builder had to snip off an extra tab that was interfering... I don't remember that tab, so I'm thinking I may have not caught the interference? I liked having the option of dropping those flaps, and they're really well done, but, if I were to do it again I'd probably pull them back up. The Swift has some really nice lines, and those flaps are just SOOOO big, and square.

That's a corker! Nice work Vance - nicely finished.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the kit as I fancy getting one myself.

Great stuff.

Cheers

That looks fantastic! That makes me want to pick one of these up. Hopefully I can find one.

Thanks gents! Portman, Maddog - highly recommended, if you can track one down! :dancing:

I think they might have gone back into production now so hopefully they should be easier to find. What I'm waiting for is a conversion set to change it into the fighter FR.7 varient.

I'd have to do some digging to find out the differences between them. Might be do-able on your own anyway?
