1/48 Airfix Fairey Gannet

This was from 2023, I’ve built heaps of Airfix, but this one is by far their best! Fantastic engineering, goes together great.

Great job. I got this one when it came out because it’s just so darned ugly you have to love it. I like your choice of one wing folded and one extended. Great job and its an Aussie bird. Best roundels.

A very good looking build of a very unfortunate looking aircraft - really eye catching.

You don’t gotta be pretty when you have a Double Mamba for a heart!

Well done, Grant, and Airfix, Even the (ahem) “plus” girls deserve some love!

Excellent work. Very impressive. If I understood you correctly, that kit is not half as hard to build as it looks like it should be – I mean, come one, each wing has two folds? Scary… :ghost:

The engineering is great…zero problems with this kit

And I understand she was very good at her job

Beautiful work! I assume you used aftermarket decals for the RAN bird. Where did you get them?
