About product

Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4 1:72 – Revell

An injection-molded plastic model of the British carrier-borne antisubmarine aircraft Fairey Gannet in the AS.1/AS.4 versions in 1:72 scale from Revell. The box allows the machine to be built with a detailed cockpit, a weapons bay and the characteristic pair of contra-rotating propellers on one shaft. The box holds decals for several markings – among them machines of the Royal Navy, the Royal Australian Navy and the German naval air arm.

The real subject

The Fairey Gannet was a carrier-borne antisubmarine aircraft of the Royal Navy that first flew at the end of the 1940s. Its peculiarity was the coupled turboprop powerplant with contra-rotating propellers: two turbines drove a common shaft and in the economical mode one of them could be shut down to save fuel on long patrols over the sea. It carried a crew and hunting equipment against submarines; it served with other navies as well.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plastic with thin modeling cement and sand the joints down. Pay attention to the pair of contra-rotating propellers – they must go together and point the right way. Polish the framed cockpit glazing before fitting it and edge it with masks. Apply a primer before painting. Spray the naval camouflage and the undersides with an airbrush; apply the decals onto a gloss coat with a decal softener and unify the surface with a final varnish.

Who the model is for

  • fans of carrier-borne and naval aviation
  • anyone interested in unusual turboprop designs
  • modelers who will appreciate the choice between the AS.1 and AS.4 versions
  • builders with experience in masking glazing and in airbrushing

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
