Here's my entry for the FAA 100 anniversary.

Obligatory Box top.



Sprues.







Decals.



I'm thinking of building it with the rudder, elevators and flaps in deflected positions, just to bring the model to life.

Thanx for looking.

Cheers Daz

Nice one Daz

Should be good this, Churchill likes his Gannets.................. Ohhhhhhh Yessssss

Bexy

Right I've started cutting plastic, by assembling the weapon's bay and cockpit.























Thanx for looking.

Cheers Daz

Thats a good start Daz, now Ive seen the cockpit on the Revell effort, theres lots of scope for some sillyness with it

BExy

Thank you for the comment Bexy.

I'm glad you like the cockpit.

I'm going to be using spare Pavla seats if I can find em.

You've got the scratch building bug huh?

Thanx for looking.

Cheers Daz

Whatever gives you that idea Daz

Bexy

Good start Daz, what camera you using? My bet is that is not the Nikon.

Im using my little Fuji 510, for this build, as it gets in close.

Cheers Daz

Nice start Daz.

Some more done to the pit of the Gannet, with some detail being added from a spare Pavla cockpit floor I had laying around.





I think its nearley ready for slapping paint on.

Thanx for looking.

Cheers Daz

The cockpits starting to look good now Daz.

Oi Churchill....... Are you quite sure you dont wanna take up Wingythingys full time

That office is lookin rather smart my friend

Bexy

Erm...............................nope Im not that good at em.

I like being on the dark side, and thanx for the comment on the pit.

I have a question.

Were the seats black along with the rest of the interior? Or silver?

Thanx.

Cheers Daz

Nice work Daz

A bit more done to the Gannet with the exhausts being added.





Then the paint gets slapped on.

Thanx for looking.

Cheers Daz

Right cockpit complete except for seats.

And started slapping on paint.





Thanx for looking.

Cheers Daz

I started one last year when it came out, rapid progress then ran out of enthusiasm!

This is looking nice so far. Keep up the good work.

Right drybrushed the cockpit to bring out the detail.













I just have to add the seats.

Can anyone tell me what colour the seats were please?

Thanx for looking.

Cheers Daz

Some more progress on the Gannet.

The IP's have been decalled and installed.









Now to add the seats.

Thanx for looking.

Cheers Daz

looking good Daz

the seats would be black - Walkaround

How's she coming along Daz?

Looks like a nice bird there, and looks to me to be better than the trumpeter effort.



Just a word of warning, most Gannet seats were built from bakelite so were a reddish brown colour, almost an orangy brick red with a leather back.

Hope this helps

Bob
