OUTSTANDING Sir! You almost need another with the wings spread! 👍 😀

This came out fantastic!  Well done!  The wings look great - ugly but I love it!

Thanks Dave, I really was torn between the Origami version and spread wings, but shelf space won the day.  Maybe one day; Airfix have released another version, but need space for that…

Splendid work Andrew. The Gannet looks really good and the folded wings make it a very distinctive model. Congratulations

For those that might be interested, I saw another Gannet up close last week while on holiday.  This example is at the Midlands Air Museum on the edge of Coventry Airport.  Unfortunately suffering a little for being stored outside, but they also have a really nice example of the double Mamba engine inside one of the hangers.

I also got to go inside the Vulcan cockpit and one or two others like the Meteor they have.  😁
