jhutchi Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Lovely. I think the Gannet is awesome, not classically pretty but great looking. In fact, I can think of a few girls like that 😂😂 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hard to believe it's the old Frog kit. I remember back around 1970 pressing my nose into local corner shop which had one displayed in the window, wondering what the hell it was. You've brought it into the 21st century, that's for sure. BTW what is 'nishties'? It's not an English word that I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 There’s certainly a lot of work gone into that, and it shows. Outstanding replica of a fascinating old aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, different hatches and trim elements, antennas, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
