discussion Airfix 1/48 Gannet, completed

[stona]

Just popped in and saw this.

I can't add much to what everyone else has said - it's a beautifully made model.

Ian, Rich, Steve, thanks very much.

I'm already thinking of getting another in the future and building it with the folded wing option and the most obscure colour scheme I can find!

Looks like you've set the bar for future Gannets Andy!! :thumb2: :smiling:

That is just spot on Andy, a very impressive Gannet. Although, I'm still not sure how the real thing managed to actually fly !

 

[Andy T]

Praise indeed Colin, thank you!

Well, what a joy this kit was to build! Everything just fits and works. There are a few options included and scope for the super detailing types to add their mark.

The crew are disappointing and nowhere near the standard of the rest of the kit. I managed to crack a couple of the bubble canopies by being a bit heavy handed whilst sanding out the seam line but that can't be blamed on the kit.

The final piece I fitted, the arrester hook, just wouldn't go in as the instructions suggested, so I just lopped the end off and glued it in place!

Anyway, enough waffle, here are some pics










And on the new display shelf (I need more shelves already!)

Bloody awesome.
