Add Accurate Bracing to Your Fairey Swordfish

For scale model enthusiasts, the Tamiya 61069 1/48 Fairey Swordfish Bracing Wire Set gives a fine, scale-accurate upgrade for your biplane kit. The photo-etched metal parts replicate the flat support wires found on the original aircraft, improving structural appearance and scale fidelity.

Precision Metal Components

These durable photo-etched parts add realistic tensioned wires and include small sights for the torpedo and machine guns to boost authenticity. Use instant cement for secure bonds and minimal cleanup when fitting the small metal elements.

Modeling Insight

Installing the bracing wires demands steady hands and patience, so this set is best suited to experienced modellers. When fitted carefully, the upgrade lifts the display quality of your Fairey Swordfish build.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Photo-Etched Metal
  • Recommended Adhesive: Instant Cement
  • Additional Features: Includes sights for torpedo and machine guns
The parts are designed for the Swordfish profile but many modellers have adapted them to similar 1/48 biplanes; some trimming and alignment may be required.
Instant cement or cyanoacrylate is recommended for a quick, strong bond; use a fine applicator to avoid excess glue on the small parts.
A sharp hobby knife, precision tweezers and a small bending tool or flat-nosed pliers make shaping and seating the wires much easier.
