Love the way Airfix is really catching up with the Europeans and Chinese competitors.

I'm nearing the end of my Gannet build and I must say that, like the Airfix K2 ambulance, it goes together beautifully. I had no issues with it at all. The only problem I had was fitting in the required amount of weight in the nose. I didn't quite put enough in so mine's a tail-sitter but as it'll be pinned & glued to a diorama base that doesn't matter. I think, having seen a couple of other builds on youtube, Liquid Gravity will help a lot.
A lovely kit to build, top marks to Airfix- they're producing some really excellent kits these days. I'm going to need a bigger spares box though!

ITS SO UGLY! I LOVE IT! It's a must-buy and must-build now that I see that you can build it with folded and stowed wings, making it extra-ugly. I cannot wait to get this, I am so excited!!
Honestly, I was hoping we'd get an after-market folded wing detail set, and that was when I would pick one up. No need to wait, I guess!! :D

Fairey Gannet not Gennet, looks great though, nice to see something unusual again instead of F-... time after time 🤣

I think it shame Airfix don’t include weight like Tamiya do with they 1:48 planes ✈️

Fairey Gannet and Sea King in 1/48 from Airfix....what on earth will it be next!? 😳😲🤨🤔😉
Exciting times, Exciting times indeed!
Thanks Airfix! 😎
Excellent review, as always....👍🏻👌🏼👏🏻

Why Airfix kits never come with reference colors guide??

[markc]

Apparently the Gannet's have seams on their canopies

But isn’t it about time that Airfix stop the issue with short-shots? I’ve had issues with every new kit they’ve released in the past several years. Surely it isn’t cost effective to offer replacement parts or sprues with every new release? I would have thought that getting the injection moulding process spot on is key. Don’t get me wrong, I love Airfix, and I will always buy and support them, however these shortcomings must cost them new or returning customers, surely? Quality control 100% needs looking at. Not a bashing, just some heartfelt constructive criticism. Btw Airfix…. PLEASE rerelease your TSR-2 kit!! I’ve built 6 (in both scales) and I’ve more schemes I want to build; an upgrade wouldn’t go amiss either. Nudge nudge… 😉😉

Do you recon there is possibility for an aew variant or is the likelihood it will only be released in AS variants

Multiples bags ... for airfix... hell must be feezing over..
