Unfortunately I can't seem to load up more than 3 photo's at a time, for some reason I'm having trouble with damn Photobucket.....

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....

A really excellent Gannet. Great markings. That propeller took some doing. Very well done. What paint did you use? Regards.Joe.

Wonderful work. Enough weathering to make it interesting without looking as if it's spend a couple years in the corner of a scrapyard :goodjob:

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.
