HL-10 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 This is the Classic Airframes Fairey Gannet in 1:48th Scale. I added some etched seat belts, but everything else is out of the box.. It is a typical Classic Airframes kit, some heavy plastic with nicely detailed resin parts. A definite tail sitter, needing lots of nose weight to get her to sit on her undercarriage properly! Painted with Tamiya acrylics. Thanks for looking Angelo. 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginot Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Good stuff. I remember reading about a US navy pilot flying an RF-8A (in Blue Moon Over Cuba? I'm a bit vague about this as I am about many things nowadays) coming across one of these beasties emerging from cloud somewhere over the Atlantic. Forming up on the right wing, he was amazed to see a bearded gentleman sitting high and handsome flying the contraption and wondered if he hadn't encountered God. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
