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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted November 5, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIGHTS ON Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Senior Service subject for your 1st post - can't really find fault with that! nice build by the way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesdad Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 That's brilliuant lads thanks so much. As regards to paint Joe, it's Akan all round on this one.

Triumph Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaman Posted November 6, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
