Gannet AS1/4


Recommended Posts

Hiya,

Help, help, help! I'm currently having a go at the Trumpeter Gannet AS.1/4 and have a few questions that you folks could answer...

I'm in two minds as to which of the 2 Royal Navy versions to do. I'm really drawn to doing the 820sqn one from Bulwark, but it looks to be a REAL pain getting those spinner stripes done :wacko: . Has anyone done one of these and can give some tips for it?

Firstly a couple surrounding colours :-

The instructions list the colours on the 820sqn ones spinners as red and IJN grey? Is this right, and what colour is closest to IJN grey in Xtracrylics???

The undercarriage legs/wheels are shown as silver, but as far as I can tell in pictures that I've got they were painted in sky? Some even having red front wheels?

And lastly, has anyone got any reference pictures/photos of real Gannets for the 2 trumpeter versions (mainly the 820sqn ones)

Any help appreciated!

Karl.
