NAVY870 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Ahoy Shipmates. Time to start another WIP thread that will no doubt fall victim to my goldfish like attention span. (Cant be any worse than the 3 year Firebox build!) Classic Airframe's Fairey Gannet from a few years ago. Not a great fan of CA kits but I'll give it a shot. Front office was done with a few changes, most of whats in the real one has been included except for the hydraulic tank and a few bits n bobs i the centre office. I'll add those later. Down the back its a different story. One of the reasons why I don't like CA kits is the way some things are done to perfection and other look like they couldn't be bothered. The front cockpits are very well done however the rear looks like a Gannet office if you squint at it on a moonless light while looking the other way. Out comes the card box Still yet to decide if it will be XA.434 from my RANFAA Museum days or XA.334 "Miranda" that lives in the shed at CMA. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coopers Sparkling Ale is the best followed by Coopers with the green label ( I don't know what they call the green label one). James Boags is OK I just googled fosters and it still exists, I thought it disappeared. No one I know drinks it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf_Filip Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Excellent! I will follow your build and will be taking notes... I've been looking for this kit for years and it's starting to be a bit rare. Now and then a kit is up for sale at Ebay, but the prices are ridiculous! A couple of weeks ago I finally found and bought one at Tradera, a Swedish web auction site. It was very cheap and I'm very excited about this one. 🙂 I'm a big fan of Classic Airframes. I know that they are usuallly a pain to put together and these kits often are lackning in accuracy. But I still love them. The Gannet is my Classic Airframes kit number 20 in my stash! 🙂 So... I'm definatly going to look forward to this build... Regards Andreas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
