Sword Models has announced that their new tool Short SB.6 Seamew model kit is almost ready.
The Short SB.6 Seamew was a British lightweight carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft developed by Shorts in the early 1950s to replace the FAA’s Avenger. It first flew on 23 August 1953 but suffered handling problems and shifting defense priorities, which led to limited production and ultimately cancellation after only a small number of airframes were built.
The upcoming 1/72 release (SW72157) is described as “quite large” and appears to include liveries for XE169 of HMS Warrior and XA123 of HMS Bulwark. The company states that they are completing the paperwork and starting to pack with release slated for sometime this month.
