MODEL SCALE: 1:48
MODEL MANUFACTURER: Airfix (UK)
MODEL CATEGORY: AIRCRAFT 2519-1/48-Military Multi-Engine Prop
MODEL KIT(s) AND TECHNIQUES USED:
The Fairey Gannet was powered by 2 Mamba turbo-prop engines mounded side by side, and is thus entered in the “multi-engine” category. Opened up an access panel and scratch-built the internal piping and engine detail. Also added some wiring to the wing folds based on reference photos. I black-based the model and used some post-shading to highlight a few panels, as well as washing it with oils. Aftermarket resin figure from plusmodel.cz, Eduard cockpit detail set and seat belts, 815 Naval Air Squadron emblem from eBay.
