Hope you like the overall view of the build. With a few mods to the Airfix kit, it opens up a few more colourful Gannets.
I want to thank all of my subscribers and people who support this channel; hope you all have a nice break wherever you live in the world.

I may be slightly sad but it makes my day whenever you post a new build. You have a unique style, which is a joy to watch/listen to and the builds are always brilliant. Happy Christmas Greg😉

As usual - fabulous build! Love the old Gannets. I was serving in the RAN when we changed from Gannets to Grumman Trackers, & Sea Venoms to Skyhawks. Was always amazed by how big the Gannets were. Love your videos - always lots of food for thought, excellent commentary, & great results!

One cant possibly hear the terms "sleek" or "aerodynamic"without immediately thinking of the Gannet 😁❤

For me, the best build I’ve seen of the Gannet so far. Absolutely fantastic Greg.

@roberterdei8627 6 ай бұрын

Some build for speed (accuracy be damned) some build for accuracy (see scale model) and most try to stray somewhere in-between, reserving the right to chicken out if it's all starting to look a bit ugly. It seems like all are accepted schools of thought...

The Gannet is an absolute beast. They have one at Duxford. It looks as if you fired anything at it, it would just bounce off.

@melvynjones3904 6 ай бұрын

Most enjoyable as ever. I have an article from Aeroplane magazine, which has a pretty good cutaway of the fuselage, showing that the main fuel tank was immediatelybehind the second seat. i waited for your take on the beast, as everyone else goes box standard. Thanks ag

Another amazing build Greg. If you were ever in charge of a wooden spoon no doubt you would convert it into a wooden spoon mk IV and much improve it.

Amazing-hardly any plastic surgery, save the therapeutic minimum in building up that fairing, hollowing out a bulkhead, and cutting some styrene boxes for the interior. Guess even you need a break from the major mods now and again. Great work as usual, with your usual quirky, entertaining approach, always a delight to behold. Wonder how Airfix got those details so wrong, especially since they've been conscientious to lift their game recently.

@Simon_Nonymous 6 ай бұрын

They are human beings with a schedule to meet I guess. I still get a little cross with the Mosquito B. XVI kit where they could have admitted a whoopsie and issued a free 'put it right' sprue, or again the Vulcan Blackbuck whoopsie. Maybe not a case of 'so wrong' as these are details, but they can go from silver to gold with very little effort I hope. All I'm asking is £25K a year and working from home ;-)

Last year I went to the Yorkshire Aircraft Museum where they have ASW version with the radar bulge under the front fuselage. If an ugly aircraft could be made any uglier then that version is it.

@allanrichards3752 6 ай бұрын

That's a lovely looking build. I would have to make it with folded wings but they do cover up a lot of the model. I am either going to have to buy two kits or get really creative and see if I can make the wings actually fold with some metal hinges and sliding bits. Ok it won't be scale hinges but as long as they function and don't look too ridiculous I would be happy.

@dlthomson5287 6 ай бұрын

A great build. Airfix has done a fantastic job with the detail and fit of the parts. One of my other subscription channels is doing a double build of this kit one with wings straight, canopy's closed and crew added the other like your build with the wings folded. I was also happy to see you got enough weight into the model so it wouldn't be a tail sitter. Have a merry Christmas and a safe and happy New year.

It's sat in the corner looking at me; I've got major house renoavtions and working away due starting Jan 2024 so guess it might be this time next year before it gets built. Bookmarked this for reference as your videos are always worth a watch. Nb - skipped to your use of making your own washes, I do the same, and no I don't do it everywhere and anywhere either, and yes using darker shaed of the right colour instead of a generic dark wash does make a noticeable difference to me. Cheers and enjoy that break sir!
