Thanks Paul. I glad you've fond memory's of the Bay . Next year, June time, there is going to be an air show, a proper one at that. What with the Dawlish show postponed might be a good opportunity for a little seaside break.... 1
Joesdad Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 Beautiful. Bravo sir. Thank you Georgie. I've more snaps but struggling getting them up...
Fatboydim Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 A really excellent Gannet. Great markings. That propeller took some doing. Very well done. What paint did you use? Regards.Joe. 1
Col. Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Wonderful work. Enough weathering to make it interesting without looking as if it's spend a couple years in the corner of a scrapyard 1
FIGHTS ON Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Senior Service subject for your 1st post - can't really find fault with that! nice build by the way 1
Spitfire31 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 That's an ugly beast, in the best sense. Really impressive finishing and weathering, in that it's invisible as such – just conveys a totally convincing 'used in service' look. A lot of modelling skills and a good artist's eye went into that Gannet! Kind regards, Joachim 1
Joesdad Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 That's brilliuant lads thanks so much. As regards to paint Joe, it's Akan all round on this one. My usual colour is Mr Hobby Aquaous, but I wanted to try Akan.....bloody lovely!!
DAG058 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Love it. Did you use PE? What did you use to rig the antennas? 1
Val_Ukraine Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Very nice Gannet here! Great job, Joesdad! 1
Mottlemaster Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 " First post lads. Please let me know what you think good and bad " Good ,infact very good 1

Triumph Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 That's an ugly beast, in the best sense. Really impressive finishing and weathering, in that it's invisible as such – just conveys a totally convincing 'used in service' look. A lot of modelling skills and a good artist's eye went into that Gannet! Kind regards, Joachim Totally agree with Spitfire, as it was a sea based bird the finish is spot on. Excellent job. 1
omegaman Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Super model of a very strangely beautiful and purposeful machine. Very under-represented in any scale (come on Airfix 1/48). Inspired me to dig out the alleycat resin one. 1
HL-10 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Outstanding work!You've done a great job on the weathering especially 1
Gumbie Air Services Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Great job, this kit is on my want list. Mark 1
