That looks very neat Chris. -
Welcome to MSW!

Wow, another "beast" you have taken on there Kevin! I will be fascinated to see her develop! 🍿
-
Looking very good Alan!
-
Congratulations Kevin, she came out VERY well!

More progress over the weekend. Some panel line pre-shading and the "Sky" underside coat. That all needs to harden off before the next load of masking begins, but it will probably be the weekend again before I get to it, so no rush! Thanks for looking in and the "likes" and comments, much appreciated. 😁

Thanks Dan, yes for 1/48 some of the surface detail might be a bit heavy and I shall have to be careful with washes later on, as all this detail might make the model look a bit too grubby. Kit manufacturers are damned either way, they leave off such detail (as would be more accurate at this scale) and people would moan about the lack of detail. I think overall Airfix have done a great job with this kit, looking forward to seeing how it looks with paint on. 😁

This takes me back, my first wooden boat build was a Caldercraft Sherbourne. 😁 Good start! 👍

Hey Brian, good to see an update, I'm all the better for seeing you back at your workbench! 😁

Very good Sir!

Been a while since the last update, life's been busy but I have had time to do some more on the Gannet and follow other's logs, just not update my own! So the there has been plenty going on and all of a sudden I'm getting close to applying paint. One modification I did try was to add the retractable crew ladder, this is an odd omission for such a detailed kit; climbing up the side of this monster with the many hand/foot holds and this little ladder must of been a challenge on a moving deck! Anyway my modification was pretty basic and I am sure some after market option will become available soon for this kit. A few pictures showing the process - of making a tape template, cutting the ladder shape out of some plastic card and adding a few little details. Lacking some of the details of the real thing, but as it is low down on the underside of the nose, think it will be okay. The fuselage has been glued together and the wing sections assembled, nothing too much to report there, so the pictures can do the talking. All had a few coats of primer for me to find the flaws and sort before painting begins. Thanks for looking in.

Good save on the copper Kevin, it will all blend in time. Your Indy is a fine looking ship!

Amazing work again Chris, looks really neat.

Ah, “sleep” you say, plotting their next dastardly deed to snag one of your builds I think. Watch them like a Hawk; remember 1/72 tanks are the same size as a Mouse. 🐭

Yeah I think you have the culprit, looks a proper “Bond Villian”, but does that make you Ernst Blofeld?! 😆
-
That has come out very well Alan, I have some small ww2 ship models with loads of P.E. and I keep looking in the boxes and putting them away again! 😆 You might have inspired me to take the plunge with one! And as for that missing mast, isn’t that just so typical, we have all been there! 🤣

Congratulations on finishing. A great looking model.
