Sword 1:72 Fairey Gannet AEW.3

I Like it. Come to think of it i think you are the first one to get this kit knocked out- and a fine job you did too.

The wing reinforcing straps look a little heavy handed, but thats about the only thing on the kit i find a little weird.

Myself, i might give the Revell kit a try, but only once i'm sure i can get replacement vacform canopies. The kit canopy is notorious for cracking down the middle.

Thanks for posting!

Just found this, if the link works, I wonder what happened to matey?

[Joesdad]

Another one.... No more, promise...

Look at the size of her!!!

That's a lovely build you have done? I'd like to ask what was the kit like to put together, I have one in the stash and am keen to know how it went together? Must be easier than the old Aeroclub build!

Hi Sly. There is no locating pins, the undercarridge is a bit weak, decals are rubbish, the instructions aren't the best.....all in all she's great! No honestly she is! These are "short run" kits so you have to forgive the little things and concentrate on the subject. It's a challenge of course but shes well worth it mate....

Fantastic work. Just started this kit and already found fit issues. Thanks for heads up about undercarriage. Regarding photobucket, I had issues previously but found using Chrome as a browser instead of explorer worked wonders.

Will be using yours as a reference if you don't mind.

What colour did you use for the lower half btw ? , it looks spot on 👍👏👏👏👏
