1/48 Sword Gannet AEW3

[AD-4N]

 

Landing gear must be installed way too early in the build according to the instructions.  I couldn't figure out another way to do it.  Miracle of miracles, I so far have not broken them off.

 

 

Did the spinner early.  I figured this was a critical paint job and wanted it done and out of the way.

 

 

 

 

Xtracolour Sky and Extra Dark Sea Grey.  Hours of masking fun.  Next to the USN scheme of light gull gray over white, this is one of the top five operational schemes ever.  
Finally got those two 1/48 Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba turboprop engines up and running courtesy of some K&S tubing.  😀
