Brad Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 This is the Trumpeter kit in 1/72, with Red Roo Decals. I cut out the radome from the lower fuselage and filled it with plastic card as the T2's didn't have this fitted. The instructions also have you put the flaps down, but I glued them in the up position. As usual, fit of the parts was hit and miss, with the major sections fitting nicely, but the smaller parts left a bit to be desired. Unfortunately I screwed up the paint job the first time around and it has sat in my cabinet half finished since January, but with Wings Model Show coming up I pulled it out, sanded down the rough as guts paint and repainted it. I was unable to cram enough weight in the nose to make it sit so I whipped up a base from an MDF board, sanded and painted with a little MiniNatur grass to add some interest and glued the model down. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Very nice indeed! I know it's an oxymoron, but beautiful Gannet! Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I know it's an oxymoron, but beautiful Gannet! Shame on you sir. This fine example of Gannetry puts the lie to such coarse assertions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
