Cracking build Sully! I learned some great weathering techniques watching your video. Thanks for making this!

@pfield39 5 ай бұрын

That's a cracking build. I'm very familiar with XA459 as I've kept my aircraft in the hangar next door (now in the new black hangar) at White Waltham for many years. The Gannet's now in the museum at Carlisle where it has at last been nicely restored. XA459 was in pretty poor condition on arrival at WW, your model very accurately replicates her even more forlorn state towards the end of her tenure. I climbed up to reposition the cursory blue tarps over the broken canopies a few times. Someone gave her a pressure wash a few years ago and intimated that restoration was imminent, alas it never happened. I've got a soft spot for Gannets since I sat in XA460 when I was a nipper, at a college in N Wales. I once made the Novo kit into a model of one of the trainer prototypes. Gannets were assembled and first flown at White Waltham, where I've been flying for over 50 years. Thanks for your efforts!

Beautiful replication of the sad state of many classic airframes rotting in yards across the UK, some even in museums. Happily there are some still out there being maintained

With this one i had no idea how this was going to work out as i havnt done this before but you just need to jump in and just do it. What you need is a scrap model to try it on!. Im going to try do a video on this one next week or so. Keep trying my dude theres still people now i feel the same way

Does remind me very much of the very rusted, very forlorn-looking Gannet which was, until quite recently, languishing in between the hangars at White Waltham Airfield (in fact, the plane in the reference photos looks very much like that p-articular Gannet). Impressive work!

@TJsModelBench-jb4xt 5 ай бұрын

Wonderfully done! Really looks the part. One thing I would have modified were the landing gear struts and tires. I have no doubt they were flat; lost pressure in the strut. This would have required cutting out the "extended" section and removing and closing up the scissor link(s). I only notice these things because I'm a former aircraft mechanic in the USAF. Peace and love.

@SullysScaleModels 5 ай бұрын

Tha ks mate and I totally get that feedback! I did flatten the there a little. I did after this make a small base as the really one sits on some blacks and they aren't auit that flat the legs I never thought off and the angles I have the photos of it it isn't that obvious. Iv just had a ‘proper’ look that then and you can must notice it. I myself should have realised this as I work at a museum and our aircraft have either collapsed or gagged so next time I will keep this in mind as this won't be the last time I do a build like this. Thanks dude much love
