Title: Swordsman.
Post by: Bradley on August 09, 2009, 12:58:58 pm

I am thinking of my next build and when considering the Fairey Marine Swordsman (in particular the Anglia Model Centre grp versions) and doing a search on Google, I came across Swordsman Marine who appear to do an updated, full size version of these fabulous boats.  Have a look at their website and their boats - bootiful  :-))

Further to my previous posting.  Has anyone built the 1:8 scale grp Swordsman or any comments on it, please.

Proteus,
My apologies - I must have been having a 'senior moment'.  You are right - their website shows the Huntsman which, I must admit, was the one I had intended asking about.  {:-{
