Hmmm, Seafire XV from Sword... I assume it'll be injection with resin and PE like their T-33?

If so, I wonder if it's not time to consider trying to sell my Czechmaster Seafire XV and getting one of these instead...

It's 99.9% injection, just resin exhausts and canon barrels. It's a nice kit got both it and the XVII

Got the Seastar and two Harriers (a T.2 & T.4) ordered and they should be across the pond by now if the tracking history is right.

Definitely looking forward to their second-generation two-seat Harriers.  I can hope they will do the first-generation as a TAV-8S in both Spanish and Thai markings.

Did Sword ever offer G-VTOL as a markings option?



By far the coolest scheme.
