Sword is a Czech company that produces high-quality short run plastic model kits.

Their range includes mainly aircraft models in 1/72 and 1/48 scales, which are not produced by larger model companies. Their kits are characterized by a high level of metalwork, well-fitting parts, but, as always with models produced in short runs, patience and attention are needed to glue them together. Worth recommending to modelers with experience who are looking for unusual subjects for their collection.
