Colin that is a superb job and one of the off the beaten path builds thats so nice to see! The paint work is excellent all around,very nicely done Sir!

Superb build mate. The Gannet is an ugly bird, never really liked it's lines-chunky angular fuselage and square wings. Despite that, it looks very nice

Here is a pic of a gannet at duxford that I took-of interest is the wing fold.

Thanks you all again for having a look.

Very nice setting and photography. Also like the aircraft a change form the usual run.

I always try to do the pic's outside, natural light just works better for me. Location, the garden

The Gannet is an ugly bird

Yes, looks that only a mother could love ! But it's those looks that make it so different.

Beautiful aircraft and beautiful build. Top job

Hate to disagree Dougie! Yes - it's a beautiful build. But beautiful aircraft? I think not!

I'll settle for quirky, which I think looks awesome! Maybe beautiful its not the right word!

Maybe last aircraft on the field, and a pair of beer goggles ?
