Building the sword 1:72 Fairey Gannet AEW.3
1
February 28, 2020The instrument panel is classically layered from PE, a film and the styrene backing2
February 28, 2020The cockpit comes fully furnished with the kit3
February 28, 2020This kit has the added resin radar operators´ compartment, nicely sculpted and cast.4
February 28, 2020To get some view of the interior, the access hatches need to be cut open.5
February 28, 2020This kit needs a LOT of weight to prevent tailsitting. Luckily there is enough room ...6
February 28, 2020Mating the fuselage halves is not an easy match, rather one that is on the reluctant side.7
February 28, 2020There was some short shot on one propellor hub part, but Apoxie Sculpt helped.8
February 28, 2020The completed and massive propellor assembly.9
February 28, 2020Closing the canopy.10
February 28, 2020I preshaded the model in Extra Dark Sea Grey11
February 28, 2020Followed by an uneven application of Sky Type S.12
February 28, 2020And a goodly amount of masking.13
February 28, 2020Which worked out quite nicely in the end.14
February 28, 2020Halfway through decaling.15
February 28, 2020The squadron badge is visible in the decal placement guide.16
February 28, 2020But missing from the decal sheet.17
February 28, 2020I scanned a printout of the badge from a book, had it printed on transparent decal film and sprayed the decal location white.18
February 28, 2020The homemade decal did work.19
February 28, 2020Applying .1 mm Albion Alloys Nickel Silver wire for the antennae. I find that stuff quite in scale, hopefully.
