Sprue shots are up for the Gannet AEW3, looks OK although canopy and doors are moulded closed, and radome moulded onto fuselage halves. Still it looks OK and will build a few of them  :thumbsup:

849 NAS 'B' Flight markings, there's a surprise............Not!  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thanks for the link.  I too would have preferred a separate radome, imagine it is cheaper to make the mold this way.  Would have your work cut out for a folding wing version.   

Plenty of WHIF material.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Here's hoping they will scale the Gannet up to 48!
