Its black finish represents the Swordfish's late-war role on night patrols, when this familiar biplane was still contributing to the protection of Allied shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperating from Belgium, No.119 Squadron used radar-equipped Swordfish to search for German small craft and midget submarines in the North Sea and off the Dutch coast. The squadron's work helped guard the sea routes serving the Allied advance, showing how the Swordfish remained useful long after faster aircraft had entered service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mk III carried air-to-surface vessel radar beneath the fuselage, helping crews locate targets in darkness. For collectors of Coastal Command and maritime aircraft, this 1:72 release offers a distinctive alternative to the Swordfish's better-known carrier-based torpedo-bomber schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation Archive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA36304\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fairey Swordfish Mk III\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial \/ Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e NF410 \/ NH-F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e No.119 Squadron RAF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperator:\u003c\/strong\u003e RAF Coastal Command\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate \/ Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1945\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheatre:\u003c\/strong\u003e North Sea and Belgian coast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft Role:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maritime patrol and anti-submarine operations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diecast metal with detailed component parts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Coastal Command scheme\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTorpedo:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not included with this release as supplied by Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eModel Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\" \/ 15.2 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.75\" \/ 19.7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Condition - Near Mint (9\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinor handling marks on the underside and the top of the upper wing.
