Popular Post Gisbod Posted June 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) Hi, Here’s my Revell Gannet, nice kit. Great subject! It’s quite a beast of an aircraft even in 1/72 scale. I have a soft spot for Royal Navy aircraft and a few more in the stash. I added an Eduard interior set but the only one I could find was for the trumpeter kit, but I just hacked at this one until it fitted 😀. Decals from Xtradecal. Thanks for looking, Guy ps I broke the pilot's sliding canopy right at the end so have requested a replacement from Revell. Not sure if I’ll get one as they’re discontinued.. I’ve also just realised I forgot to add the arrestor hook. Will add it this afternoon. I wouldn’t fancy having to land one on the deck without it!

ABeck Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Thank You, great work and inspiring. Will we ever see a decent quarterscale kit apart from the old CA ?? I mean to remember a certain manufacturer of injections molded kits in the UK, wasn´t there one ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Lovely job there Guy. I love the chunky lines of the Gannet, and to my ears anyway, there was nothing quite like the heavy hum of the double Mamba engine! Hope you get lucky with the front canopy!

Many thanks all, Paint wise I use the excellent MRP range - in this case their Sky and Extra Dark Sea Grey, although I did modify the Sky, it looked too blue against photographs of Gannets so I gave it a thin over coat of light grey to tone down the colour. Looks about right now - to my eye at least. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 What a wonderful Gannet,this looks absolutely stunning, really great work , got the same kit and was wondering whether to build wings folded or not, quite fancy the outstretched option now. Shame about the broken canopy, fingers crossed for you. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Excellently executed Gannet, looks nice and neat. The photography shows it off nicely as well. Shame about the canopy. I remember a few years back that a lot of these Revell kits had cracked canopies when people opened the boxes. I'm certain there's a vacform available for it. Or you could crash mold the transparency from the original parts. Good luck with that. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
