Creepy Pete Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Hello, Here's my just finished 1/72 Revell Gannet AS.4 in Marineflieger markings. I decided to do it as UA+110, which is preserved these days as UA+106 at the Luftwaffe museum at Gatow near Berlin. Bit of a mixed kit, some nice details, and some crappy fit, especially around the cockpit and clear parts. The tail hook snapped into 3 pieces, and one of the canopies has broken in two on the sprue. Painted with Humbrol enamels. I hope you like it. Thanks for looking, Pete Edited September 12, 2017 by Creepy Pete 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squibby Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Great work on the model, I like the subtle weathering and the finish is really refined and realistic. It's a very interesting looking subject, though I can't honestly say it's particularly good looking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJP Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 What a nicely done Gannet in Marineflieger markings - great work very neat - I wish Revell did an AS4 in 1/48 scale (and an AEW3) CJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG058 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Very nice work! I feel you pain with the kit, it is hard work getting it together. I had the exact same problem with the canopy on mine, thankfully Revell sent a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberraman Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 A cracking Gannet in rarely seen markings. You've done a great job despite the fit issues. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Very nicely done. The kit is a bit over-engineered but, as you have shown, worth it in the end From the number of people complaining about broken canopies with this kit, I have a theory that Revell employed a man specially to make sure that all Gannet canopies went out pre-snapped.

Marlin Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Beautiful. Always loved the Gannet. If mine turn outs half as good as yours I'll pleased. /Bosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coneheadff Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Looking great!!! Just as good as the original in Gatow Just hope that they will restore one of the other hangar and safe more aircraft...it's a shame!!! Wish someone would do a 1/48 kit Edited September 13, 2017 by coneheadff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I know where you're coming from with the fitment etc. But I have to say it has turned out rather splendidly old bean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Pete Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Thanks everyone! On 13-9-2017 at 7:53 PM, coneheadff said: Looking great!!!

It's sad how many pretty rare aircraft are just rusting away outside at Gatow. That's the downside of having a museum at an old airfield, I guess. A 1/48 kit would be most welcome, yes.

That must be the first time someone calls me an old bean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Cracking bit o' Gannetry. You've delivered a really nice restrained quality on that. Splendid work! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris G 29 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Lovely build. I vaguely remember seeing one in Marineflieger markings at Hurn in the early Eighties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
