Pete in a shed Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello all. Just finished this Gannet build over in the work in progress area. A really interesting and rewarding project that generated lots of amazing posts about Indonesian Gannets from some very knowledgeable folks out there and best of all some footage of the aircraft on a sortie. (Well worth a look at the home footage!) Thanks everyone who followed the build. So, here's the finished article hot from the shed for your perusal, hope you like it. Cheers Pete After market resin wing fold set. Home made decals. Bomb bay from resin insert You can just make out the cockpit detail. Honest On to the next Project😃. 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJP Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I think this is the best model of a Gannet I have seen - the aftermarket wing fold looks great and you have really captured the feel of the aircraft CJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Beautiful work on a very interesting airplane. I don't know of any other airplane that has wings that fold that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Well now, that's a brilliant piece of work! An interesting (though perhaps not beautiful) plane and you have really nailed it in every way. A knockout! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMB Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Very nice indeed and a nice change to see a Gannet in Indonesian Navy markings. Two of the real thing are still preserved in Indonesia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyas Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don't remember Angkatan Laut's Gannet to look this good. Last time I saw one on military museum at Jakarta it was pretty dull. Really fantastic work on a plane that not much people here realize we once owned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the Indonesian forces have used many different types not widely known about, quite an eclectic mix! (the models finish is based on pre delivery scrub up😁.)

Marklo Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 That is really nice. The Gannet is one of those wonderfully quirky British aeroplanes rest I love. Must see if I can track down a 1/48 kit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
