HubertB Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Being worked on by the same guy who also produced a resin 1/32 Buccanneer .... A vey brave move indeed. The Gannet is an incredibly big aircraft. When standing next to (well, « under » is an apter description) it, I felt really dwarfed. And that wing looked so thick ... It has the ungainly charm of the post-WWII British aerospace industry products. I actually quite like it, which means I must be twisted somewhere ... BUT, why go for the ugliest version, the AEW one, when the ASW was more interesting IMHO ? Well you can’t please everyone all the time, I guess. I’ll let the die-hard British contingent support the initiative, and focus my cash on other unloved aircrafts . Hubert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Had heard this was a possibility. Remember seeing them at local airshows as a kid. As Hubert says it's another of the great British 'fuglies'. Could only be loved by their mothers but it was pretty damn efficient at what it did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2020 I’ll be in for one as well. It can compete for ugly with the “Family Model” Skyraider. That is one ugly aircraft. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 OK, I like ugly. I gotta have it to go with my Skyraider. Guess if I start saving now I can afford it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! And I bought one off a forum classified as well. Here’s the one I bought . It was my COVID build this past March/April. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Ugh! Did Fairey make anything that wasn't ugly as hell? Here it looks like a Spitfire mated with a schoolbus: ... And that's the best looking one! I'll be passing on the Gannet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we got the pretty end of the Spitfire. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
