JohnT Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Nicely done. Very Goldilocks - just right. Remember seeing them at air shows flying with one set of props feathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinpin Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Looks great - what paint and colours did you use. Can you give brief detail of the kit problems please. (I've been looking at the Sword AEW Avenger} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsjmse Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 One of those aircraft that's so ugly it's beautiful. Your model is superb - extremely realistic finish. The fading and weathering is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Very nice indeed. A great looking model of an aircraft which I actually think is rather good looking. It was certainly clever of Fairey to get two engines and an AEW radar in to an aircraft which could actually fit on a Royal Navy carrier. I have this kit in the stash and I noticed that the fuselage strengthening ribs are rather (too) pronounced. On your build they look nice and subtle. Did you sand them down at all?

FIGHTS ON Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 On 2/26/2019 at 10:40 AM, Tunguska said: The radars themselves have quite a history - Avenger/Skyraider/Gannet or something! AN/APS -20 - I think these radars originally flew on converted B-17s rushed/developed at end of WWII to counter Japanese air attacks - I'm sure someone will correct me. that is a great looking kit, really well weathered. I always hoped Airfix in it's current phase of doing some British classics might be tempted to do one in 1/72 or 1/48 (with the wing fold option.....)

Bedders Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 There's something wonderful about the Gannet, and the AEW version takes it to the extreme. Your build captures it perfectly. I think I need one. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
