I am putting together the necessary models for Denmark Straits. It's for a class of 5th and 6th graders, so I'm going for ruggedness over historical accuracy in the ships; rather than subject my 1/700 scale models, in other words, I'm using suitably modified plastic ships by Strombecker. That said, does anyone have a suggestion as to what I could use for Swordfish? I don't mind the planes being a bit larger than they should be, although 1/144 would be TOO large. I've been trying to think of small WWI biplanes that look close enough, but am coming up empty . . . |

Chris, You could always get some 1/700 scale plastic planes. Here are some links to a few items (the links are to pages from Pacific Front Hobbies): link link Or you could go to 1/350 scale with some resin models: link Dave |

I'm not sure what scale the Strombecker ships are, but if they're 1/700, Tumbling Dice does Swordfish in 1/600. Brookhurst Hobbies carries them in the US. |

I also saw that Skytrex makes some for their coastal forces range. You can get them from WarWeb. link |

Thank you all. The easiest to acquire appear to be the Swordfish from War at Sea (special thanks, Jake!) |
