Human-scale Fairey Swordfish Torpedo Bomber model, certain elements depicted to scale.\nThe Fairey Swordfish was a cutting-edge biplane carrier designed specifically for torpedo bombing missions. Introduced in 1936, it rapidly proved its worth despite being somewhat outdated by the outbreak of war. The aircraft achieved incredible success first at the Battle of Taranto, where British forces launched a daring attack on the Italian fleet docked in port. The Swordfish also deployed the torpedoes that crippled the German Battleship Bismarck's rudder, forcing it to stay in the open waters of the English Channel, far from the Luftwaffe's reach over the French coast. No Allied aircraft outdid the Swordfish in destroying Axis shipping by tonnage. This 1/900th scale model is optimized for printing, but scaling up or down can also be achieved with a high level of detail retained. Printing larger models is less than ideal due to their lower resolution detail compared to smaller sizes, as seen when upscaling or downscaling. To combat this issue, the model has been lengthened in its Z-axis and expanded in some parts for added clarity. Furthermore, the aircraft now possesses sturdier elements.
