A Tungsten Gannet...


Recommended Posts

Hello Dears

End of March already...

And here's my first RFI for 2020 ... 

Times have been and still are shaky... And weird.

But I finally managed to finish a kit !

Still in my "operation Tungsten" Serie

First of all, I will here thank my helm man for this build, I mean @Grey Beema

Thank you Grey, for the pics and tips.

So here's the "Gannet" flown by Stan Orr

Eduard week end boxing, with the addition of the related PE fret Eduard Zoom.

Paints are Xtracrylics as usual, decals came from the kit and generic decal sheet

Plus some hand painting !

I restrained the weathering since these birds were almost new at the time of the Tirpitz attack.

weathering is made with Flory as usual too...

I added some bits and bobs on the interior...

If the weather allow it, I will add some exterior pics tomorrow !

Feel free to comment and above all, bantering is welcome too !!

Have a great modelling time !

The next Tungsten addition is very oftenly mocked by aircraft enthusiast...:fight:

But I tend to like these flying proof of the so famed british humor !!

easy to guess now....

So Gents, see you later !!

Sincerely.

Those are really smart Alain, much nicer in those colours than boring dark Blue. ;) :)

Steve.

 

Thanks for the kind words Steve

Oooops The boring Dark blue is on its way...

Lovely work Alain! :clap2:

 

Is the next one a Stringbag, by any chance?!

thank you Dunny,

I don't think that Swordfishes were involved in Tungsten

But not far away since it will be a Fairey too...

Lovely work CC, great builds - really nicely finished.  Are you going for a Wildcat or Barracuda next?

 

 

Thank you Grey, and Many thanks for the tips

It is up to you that my "Gannet" has a bit more of personality !!

And I owe to you the back story !!

Well, The Barracuda is on its way too !

Wildcat ? I hear of the Seafires that stayed in protection of the fleet but Wildcat ? 

You see, I learn a bit more now !!

Thanks again Grey !!

 

Sincerely.
