Me & Gill got married the day before her birthday, it's a strategy that works I tell you, I've yet to forget one (14 years this year)

I've also read that we've now commited to the full buy of 138 a/c, but I'm not sure where I read it, I also seem to remember that it is 138 a/c over the course of the projected life of the project, so that smacks of a protracted program with multiple small batches, although apparently the MOD has stated that a/c supplied from early lots will be upgraded to the later lot standard, which should include Meteor & Spear 3 missile compatability (although thats still a few years away yet).

Don't forget the venerable Airfix kit too, generally regarded as at least a match for the Tamiya kit.

They can carry a GAU-12 Equalizer 25mm Gatling type cannon, the complete system is mounted in both pods, one pod has the gun system, the other pod has the ammo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-12_Equalizer

I'm following, I have plans for at least one 1/48 COD Gannet in my future, and it may multiply from there. Many years ago I did a couple of 1/72 Gannets, a COD version using the venerable Frog kit with scratch built cockpits and using Modeldecal markings for Ark Royals COD.4 and an AEW version using an Aeroclub mixed media conversion kit comprising vacform fuselage with white metal additional parts, decals for HMS Eagle came from a ModelArt decal.

Looking forward to this one, personally I think it complements the Airfix kit really well and will fill the hole in so many cold War FAA projects. Depending on the price I may have to get 2, 1 to use with the CTA "Ark Royal Sixth Commision" decal and another to wear HMS Eagles' Chinese Mahjong fin emblem.

1/48 Airfix Fairey Gannet Upgrades & Conversions
AntPhillips replied to wellsprop's topic in 3D Makerspace
Hi Ben, Both the feathered prop conversion and the baggage pod are looking great. -
HMS Victorious (1961) in 1/200
AntPhillips replied to Dancona's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
Great avoidance technique lol. -
Let's hope it sells well, would love to see a Hawker Demon / Hart / Hind/ Audax / Osprey family.

1/72 Airfix RNLI Shannon Class Lifeboat
AntPhillips replied to Plastic Bonsai's topic in The Rumourmonger
Will definitely consider this one along with a Severn Class boat too 👍 -
Yes, but it's a pure re-release rather than a new tool, for those of us that only build in the larger scale and post 2ndWW front-line squadron subjects, there is little, I'm just hoping Airfix are planning on surprising me later in the year 😉 With regard to the Bulldog, I might be tempted by this one, as I've dabbled with some of the Inpact Silver Wings kits, and hope it might be the first of a between the wars ensemble.

Their website is down for maintenance at the moment, IIRC they did this last year and it then came back on line at the designated time.

Will it include the F-4J(UK) ?🤔

About the hangar and lift of Ark Royal IV R09
AntPhillips replied to zdsjrx's topic in Maritime Cold War to 1990
It would seem the a/c are parked facing the stern, see this link for a picture taken from forward lift: https://www.reddit.com/r/WarshipPorn/comments/k56q5x/the_double_hangars_of_hms_ark_royal_taken_from/ Hope this helps. Ant -
HMS Victorious (1961) in 1/200
AntPhillips replied to Dancona's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
Happy New Year David, Great to see the progress on Victorious, the type 984 radar dustbin looks awesome, but then again the whole build is something else, I'm sure you'll be fine with the lattice mast. Ant -
Solan Goose= Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4. Airfix 1/48.
AntPhillips replied to Spookytooth's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Like your systematic method of preparation, the paint list etc. I'll be following along as I have a kit destined to become a COD.4 using the CTA 6th Commision decal set. -
I notice Xtradecal 48237 has already sold out at Hannants, wow that was quick, I wonder if it was just an initial print run with more to follow later?
