Here are my last kits completed in 2020. The first 2 from the Shelf of Doom and are the Revell (Zvezda) MiG-31 Foxhound and Sword Fairey Gannet AEW.3. The Gannet needs the aerial wires fitted but I am waiting on replacement decals. The last one is Airfix AV-8A Harrier with decals from Caracal of the first Marine AV-8A Harrier squadron to serve as part of a Carrier Air Wing (CVW-19) in 1976-77 Many thanks for looking.

Dynavector Fairey Gannet old build repair
71chally posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
This is an old build but freshly repaired! If deemed inappropriate here mods please remove. This is the Dynavector Fairey Gannet kit which is 20 years old now, being a massive Gannetphile and with only the Frog (and derivatives) Gannet in 72nd available at the time, I had to build this one as soon as it came out.

I added very little to the kit, just various aerials and probes etc, panel scribing, and weat -
After the 1955 refit (angled deck introduction) HMS Eagle sailed in May 1956 to Malta with the air wing consisting of Seahawks, Sea Venoms, Wyverns, Gannets and Skyraider AEWs. Then the Gannets were flown home from Malta and R05 took part in Operation Musketeer in the end of October. Afterwards (somewhere in 1957) another Gannet flight is listed again as operating from the Eagle deck. My questions are: does anybody know the dates when the first Gannet flight (812 NAS) left the Eagle deck and when another (814 NAS) Gannet flight landed on the same deck after the Suez campaign?

Well, I've spent plenty of enjoyable hours reading and marveling at other members' WIP topics, so I thought it was about time that I put something back and did one of my own. I don't claim to be anything other than a mediocre modeller, and I don't have the literary skills of a Procopius, but I do have ... well, what do I have? A stash, some paint, some hairy sticks, and a love for building things out of plastic. Anyway, the title may just have included some spoilers, but I'm taking the plunge in partnership with Trumpeter's 1/72 Gannet. I've loved the Gannet for a long time, with its rather i
