Description

This Fairey Swordfish Mk I represents RNAS No.815 NAS aboard HMS Illustrious in November 1940, a period closely linked to Royal Navy carrier strike operations in the Mediterranean. As a biplane torpedo bomber serving from a fleet carrier, it captures one of the most recognisable naval aircraft roles of the early war years.

A distinctive addition to any Fleet Air Arm or WWII naval aviation collection, with its folded-wing biplane profile giving it real display presence. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy carrier-based aircraft with strong wartime identity.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.

Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.

Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.

Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.

Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.

Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.

Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.

Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.

If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
