As newer, faster aircraft were developed to replace it, the Swordfish was modified to become an anti-submarine aircraft. The Mk.II featured metal lower wings that allowed it to be armed with ten rockets or depth charges, which, along with its sturdy design and long endurance, made it an exceptional anti-submarine aircraft for use on merchant aircraft carriers in the Atlantic convoys.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Model\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed assembly kit model of the Fairey Swordfish Mk.II.\u003cbr\u003eFeatures specific to the Mk.II, such as the metal lower wing and large oil cooler are all accurately reproduced.\u003cbr\u003eFormidable rocket armament, exhaust damper, and included invasion stripe markings further distinguish this kit from the earlier Mk.I.\u003cbr\u003eUse with ITEM# 61069 Fairey Swordfish Photo-Etched Bracing Wire Set for even more realistic rigging detail.\u003cbr\u003e3 figures and 3 types of markings included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperational Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"This item is brand new from the factory.\"\u003eFunctional\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMSRP:\u003c\/strong\u003e $100.00\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Model Kits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trainz SKU for this item is P12000648. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6px !important; color: #d3d3d3 !important; line-height: 8px !important;\"\u003eTrainz Product Id: 12000648\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44048152854650,"sku":"P12000648","price":80.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1260\/4747\/files\/P12000648-346F0481.jpg?v=1758878994","url":"https:\/\/www.trainz.com\/products\/tamiya-61099-1-48-fairey-swordfish-mk-ii-spotter-torpedo-bomber-plane-kit","provider":"Trainz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
