About product

Big Ed for the Fairey Gannet AS.1 model in 1:48

Big Ed is the way Eduard brings several of its accessory sets for one kit together in a common package. The customer gets a set of accessories for the same model all at once and does not have to put them together piece by piece. It is not an aircraft model but equipment for a modeler who already has a Gannet kit or is getting one.

The real subject

The Fairey Gannet was a British carrier aircraft intended for anti-submarine work. The AS.1 version filled that role in the 1950s with the Fleet Air Arm. Its powerplant was unusual: a single Double Mamba turboprop unit drove a pair of contra-rotating propellers, and one of its halves could be shut down in flight, which extended the time on patrol. The fuselage held a crew of three in two separate cockpits and the wing folded twice over for parking below deck. The result was a machine of extraordinary shape that cannot be overlooked in a display case.

What you get with the set

Accessories of this kind aim at the places where injection-molded plastic is by its nature too coarse - at surfaces with fine relief, at small reinforcements and at shapes that could not be cast in a mold. On an aircraft with such a broken-up surface and with two cockpits there is plenty of room for improvement. Check the specific composition of the package on the packaging; combined packages differ in their contents according to which sets were made for a given model.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to improve the Gannet systematically and all at once
  • Builders with experience of working on small accessories
  • Those interested in British carrier aircraft of the 1950s
  • Those who prefer a single package to buying piece by piece

FAQ

No. Big Ed is a bundle of accessories for a model that the modeler gets separately. Without the basic kit the set cannot be used.

The powerplant was a single turboprop unit made up of two halves. One could be shut down in flight, which saved fuel during a long patrol over the sea.

The packaging has the composition printed on it. Combined packages are put together from what was made for a given model, so they differ between titles.
