Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the British carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft Fairey Gannet in 1:48 scale. This release, part number A11007A, is focused on export schemes, that is on the machines on which the Gannet served outside the Royal Navy. Check the contents of the package and the particular schemes on the box.
The Gannet was a three-seat carrier-based aircraft for searching out and destroying submarines. Its recognition feature is the Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba powerplant: a pair of turboprop engines joined into a single unit and driving two contra-rotating propellers on one axis. The pilot could shut one half of the engine down during a patrol flight and save fuel, which greatly lengthened the time over the water. For operating from decks the Gannet had a folding wing and a retractable radar dome. The AS.4 version was given a more powerful Double Mamba. Outside Britain the aircraft served with the Royal Australian Navy, with the West German Navy and with the Indonesian Navy, which operated it from land for want of an aircraft carrier.
The roomy three-seat cockpit is worth finishing and dry-fitting before the fuselage is closed up. Watch the contra-rotating propellers for the correct blade directions. Naval schemes suit an airbrush, with a gloss coat before the decals and a flat one after them. Glue the folding wing only once it has been tried dry, so that it holds its angle.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
