The ugliest but most gorgeous plane ever to launch off a carrier!!!! Mental design, iffy wings, but a massively capable machine!! Along with the Buccaneer, a massive favourite of.mine
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for the comment😁🤙🏻

How much is 50 Pounds in USD?@@machmodels
Magnificent! She was a proper unit, the Gannet, and you've caught the essence of her. That neat RN colour scheme again, too.....👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you! Thanks for the kind words, glad I have caught that rugged essence😁
Up until the early 90's there was a Gannet used as a Gate Guardian at RAF Lossiemouth (formally RNAS Fulmar). Sat alongside this hefty beast was a Buccaneer and a Shackleton
. Quite a sight! Great video as always!
Oh how I would’ve loved to have seen that! I’m sure it was a rather intimidating Gate Guardian with its “chunkiness”, thanks for the comment😁🤙🏻
The touch of the master's hand. Inspiring - well done !
Thank you very much sir! Very kind😁
Shes a gorgeous war bird,nice build buddy thanks for posting.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it😉
What an amazing model of Fairey Gannet. Brings back memories of my dad who work in the Fairey factory where the large amount of parts Gannet where made. It was shared between 3 othe factories . I had the pleasure of visiting the factory when I was 11 I'm (68) I think the last one was completed in 1967 Stay safe J.
Thank you very much sir! Wow great to hear about your affiliation to the Gannet, after building this I’m in a mission to see one! Thanks for the comment😁
Nice job, Luke! You always build clean, solid models (philosophically speaking, not literally). You’re such a good example & I always feel encouraged to go & tackle my current model challenge. Thank you!
Thank you very much! Haha yeah not all of the are super clean but I get what you mean. Really appreciate the comment😁✌🏼
😊😊
Thank you! These kits just really started coming into the Colonies and I just got mine. Really looking forward to starting it.
Let me know how you get on!😄😄
What a funky looking plane. I've never seen one before. Great build as usual. Thanks for sharing your hard work as always
Very funky indeed! Thank you very much sir, appreciate it😁🤙🏻
Another excellent build accompanied with first class commentary.
Very well done.👍
Thank you very much bud! Really means a lot😁🤙🏻
Nice build! I’ll definitely have to pick this kit up. The Gannet has always been a fascinating airplane to me.
Thank you sir! You’ll love this as a build I’m sure of it, let me know how you get on😁✌🏼
What a beautiful build! And a wonderful aircraft. I can remember them when I was a young lad when the Australian Fleet Air Arm had them. And I've subscribed.
Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy the content👌🏻☺️
Great build and explanation, thanks for creating! 👍🏻
Thank you very much sir!😁
Great video! Just got the kit and as a newbie builder wanted to watch and follow an established modeler. I now realise I don't have a hope in hell of replicating your superb work, but it was a joy to watch so many thanks for that.
Thank you dude! Whaaa don’t say that, I am sure you can get a very similar finish to mine! Shading is the key! Thanks for the comment😁
Remember! We all have to learn to walk before we learn to run. Just enjoy the build and love the hobby.
Absolutely stunning
Thank you very much sir!😁
You strike a really good balance between moderate weathering and a clean, crisp finish. I have to admit, I have my head in my hands watching some other modelling channels when they're going too far with it.
Thank you! I am still trying to find a style that I like to work with but I agree, sometimes it’s a little bit overkill. There are past videos on the channel where I have fallen victim to overdoing it!🤣
That is a really nice model, thank you for sharing it with us. I'm glad you built it "out of the box" because it lets us numpties know what can be done if we (mainly me) makes it properly.
I haven't made an Airfix kit for over 50 years, they seem to have progressed somewhat, building jigs? Well, well, well.
Thank you very much! I know right, very high tech models🤙🏻
Insane build. Really love your videos. I’m getting back into my airfix after a few years out. Need to invest in an airbrush now as I want to notch up my abilities and dive much deeper into the more realistic finishes you can get with them. Many thanks for the upload 👍
Thank you very much sir! Very kind! Definitely, the airbrush is definitely a piece of kit that can transform your models. What airbrush do you have in mind?🤙🏻
Another great job dude 👏 can't wait to see what you do next
Thank you very much sir! Some might call my next project a natural disaster!😉😁
@machmodels even more interesting now 🤔 😁
The Gannet was definitely an aircraft designed for function over form, but that is one beautiful build, well done.
Haha yessir! Thanks for the comment😁🤙🏻
The actual plane is a Beast. Posts on the aircraft are worth a look.
Whilst building this I was searching all over the internet for photos of the Gannet. It’s just so weirdly menacing🤣
Love it mate 🤩🔥 such a good job
Thank you Matt, really appreciate it!!
I enjoyed your build and you have sold me on the idea of building one. These things take me back to family holidays in Devon and Cornwall when I was young. If we were lucky our holidays coincided with an Open Day at RNAS Culdrose, RAF Chivenor or St Mawgan. Fairey Gannets were regular visitors to these events. I enjoyed seeing them fly. I always thought of them as being safe, solid and dependable aircraft. Yes, they do look a bit chunky but some of us do prefer a bit of wood on the tree and something quieter.
Three bits of trivia:
1. Sorry to be a spotter but the Fairey Gannet had two engines, each driving its own co-axially mounted propeller. So not really a contra-rotating propellor.
2. They were not invasion stripes but recognition stripes applied to aircraft operating in the 1956 Suez crisis.
3. The RN were hell bent on getting rid of nasty, dangerous, explosive aviation spirit (petrol) from their carriers. So jet engines and gas turbines using relatively safe kerosene were the future but…. these things were started with a gas generator burning, of all things, Avpin. This is a highly volatile liquid mono-fuel or in other words an explosive. Therefore armourers had to look after its storage and dispensing.
Thank you! Glad to hear you’ll have one of these bad boys in your stash. Great to hear about your affiliation to the Gannet, made me rather jealous I must say! Thank you very much for the information, next time I make one of these I’ll reference this comment😁🤙🏻
Completely lovely
Thank you very much sir!😁🤙🏻
Nice job! If my Gannet looks half as good as yours I'll be very happy. I've still got a long way to go, my next step is assembling the interior once I've done some drybrushing on it so you can actually see some of the detail!
Thank you very much! Definitely spend some time detailing the interior, it is surprising how much of it you can see once it's done!
Ultra Amazing Build O_O WOOOOOW !
Thank you dude!
Awesome job!
Thank you sir!😁
Great video love the model and paint job nicely done…. Thanks for sharing 🍻👍
Thank you very much sir!😁
A great and nice model. Good box art, a classic of cold war
Thank you very much sir!🤙🏻
Awesome job! What a Beast of a plane
Great build video and a lovely result
Thank you sir! Really appreciate it😁
Some of the bulkier aircraft really do look better in a bigger scale. The recent buccaneer is a similar example . The first time I saw a gannet live, I could not believe how deep the fuselage was. This scale really does it justice. You have to love ship borne craft for their sheer toughness!
I can definitely agree with that! Looking at the gannet next to the buccaneer they just look mean as! Thanks for the comment😁
Superb Luke well done 👍
Thank you very much mate! Glad you enjoyed it😁
Excellent as always 👍
Thank you bud!😁
Amazing work 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you bud!😁
Looks amazing
thank you very much sir!
Another magnificent build & outcome, I am thoroughly enjoying your channel.
Top job! 👊🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you sir! Glad you are enjoying the content😁✌🏼
@machmodels please don't think I'm patronising when I say this, but as a seasoned modeller of some 40+ years, I'm very impressed with the results your getting after only 2 years at it. Chapeau!🫡
On average, how long does it take you to complete?
Of course not! So this build took me 5 days but on average it’ll take me around 2 weeks to complete a project😁
Stunning build my friend... amazing airfix's Jobs on this kit... cheers from Argentina!
Thank you very much bud!😁
Impressive kit and work!
Thank you very much!😁😭
Not too sure why a crying emoji is there! Perhaps crying with joy??!!🤣
a very nice build. thanks for share. i love this plane
Thank you sir! Also very loveable to me😝
The Fairey Gannet is an interesting unique aircraft double propeller looking very nice the cockpit & details. I want to have this aircraft of my own.
Grab this model then! You won’t regret it😁
Good work. It looks great.
Thank you very much sir!✌🏼
Fantastic build👊🇬🇧
Thank you bud!😁
Really great work, one of my faves.
Thank you very much, one of my favourites as well😁
Big beautiful plane !!!😀😀😀
Sure is!😆
⭐️great presentation, good looking kit and an excellent result 😎⭐️👍
Thank you very much sir!🤙🏻
Very good i think you are 1 of few who will build it with wings unfolded !
Thank you! Haha yes it was paint full not to make use of the wing fold system… luckily as I bought two I’m sure I’ll do another one but utilising the wing fold this time😁
I love the gannet so amazing
Same here it’s just so unique!😁
Excellent video you did a brilliant job of that 👍
Looking forward to getting this.
For maybe ten years, my Classic Airframes kit has been on my ‘must complete’ list. 😫
Haha let me know how you get on!😁
Very nice!!! Model Expo is coming up next month here in Australia, so will keep an eye out for this kit!!
Thank you! Fingers crossed!
Mach Models you are good at building Models and airbrush painting that is awesome my friend
Thank you mate!😁
Wonderful build, very impressive Aircraft 😊
Thank you very much, the Gannet really is a sight hey!😁
Nice job!
Thank you very much!😁
About 1992 I was with REME and attached to an British Army unit who were covering a rather special air base and beside where I was working was a Fairy Gannet parked up on the grass. Talking to the Squadron Leader who was my boss he told me he actually flew it on it's last flight to this base before it was grounded and a lot of parts removed. Interesting to hear some of the aircraft The Gannet is certainly very distinctive and easily recognisable with it's two propellers..
I agree she is a very chunky bird but there is an elegance in her ugliness.
Wow what a great little story! Thank you for sharing!🤙🏻
you got this built fast!
Well I mean “Mach” Models😉😆
@@machmodels I've got this kit as a Christmas present, looks good. Thanks for the video.
Nice, I like unusual aircraft like the Gannet.
Thank you! Me too, they always seem like a bit more fun to much around with😁
i dont like airfix kits but bought kit yesterday and will say that airfix is got this kit spot on by the way
Modern Airfix is just upping there game with every model at the moment, it is superb!😁
What a nice build and video👍👍 I’m just back to the hobby and can build and decal but the painting is my challenge!!!!😢😢 keep up the work it’s soooo good. Regards from north of Scotland
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the comment😉
Gorgeous build! Learned a lot from your video, really well done! I like a lot of your personal choices for many of the details, and the very diluted paint with many applications comes off beautifully. Subbed and liked looking for ward to your other video's!
Thank you very much! Looking forward to seeing you next video🤙🏻😁
beautiful plane and model
Thank you very much bud!😁
Hi Luke, that was a great build of a 'strange' looking aircraft, you should be congratulated on a job well, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia
Thank you very much! Really appreciate the feedback😁🤙🏻
Chap at work his brother was radar tech in the navy on carriers. He said his brother witnessed a Gannet wing fold on launch. Crew rescued. Few weeks later same again. Crew lost. His brother would fly on board Gannets to fault check avionics..
Wow that’s incredible! Thanks for sharing😁
Nice build 👍
Thank you very much!😝
Nice and simple build
Yessir! Thanks for the comment😁
Fantastic Job! Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Thank you mate!😁
great build luke dont want to start mine now
Thanks! Whaaa why not?!!
We've got a Gannet at our local museum (with the wings folded too!). It absolutely dominates the hangar. They are huge aircraft in person. Bigger than every other aircraft in the museum aside from a Shackleton and 737 fuselage (Tornado's, Jaguar, Harrier, Phantom and others). Absolute beasts.
I would love to see one! What museum is that?😁
Hey there! It's the South Wales Aviation Museum in St Athan @@machmodels
Great Job. I have a real fondness for the Gannet ever since I was a kid and saw her displayed at a Navy day in Portsmouth, UK. Some say she is an ugly aircraft but I say she is unique and significant.
Thank you very much! Before I made this model I was a little on the fence about how it looks, but now I am an affirmed Gannet lover! Now just need to go and find one in real life! Thanks for the comment😁🤙🏻
Hi Luke, very nicely done & well done for being the first to release the build video. I will get myself one once the hype has calmed down & price has dropped or a man in a red suit drops one off 😅😊
Thank you mate! Fingers crossed you aren’t on the naughty list😆😆
Nice job on your Gannet. It's an airframe I've always been fond of for some reason. Airfix look to have done a great job of their offering. I'm hoping for an AEW version before I pull the trigger but it is very tempting
Thank you sir! I’d love to see the AEW variant as well, even uglier but greater in my opinion! You can never have too many kits😆
There's only one in the world that Flys. So cool
I’d love to see it!
Lovely job👍
I too have stopped pre shading. Post shading is far more satisfying and easier.
Thank you very much! 100%, also more control I think?!😁
Awesome. I think wentbi build my gannet I'll add some small weights to the nose spinner and the fwd ends of the torpedoes just to make sure.
Thank you! Yes I think that would be a very good idea, be careful to make sure the weighted torpedos don’t upset the CG though!😁✌🏼
Fantastic dude!! Iv had the same things you have mentioned but no great issue n some basic modeling will fix!! I noticed when messing with my nose weight they did include a tray for the front weight but no mention in the instructions for it!
Thank you mate! Brilliant, I have another one of these to do so for next time I’ll make sure to make use of that part😁✌🏼
@@machmodels like I said it's not in the instructions but it's next to the one that is lol
Mach Models your utube videos are awesome my friend
Thank you bud!😁
nice quick build - looks great - still a pain re seat belts... hey-ho.... also love the weathering of the black (doogs models call this 'stage paint' - so while not 'accurate' makes for a better model....
Thank you mate! Yup, seatbelts I think are always going to be this issue that manufacturers have... but as you say 'hey-ho'! Glad you like the weathering, really simple yet effective way to break up that dull black!
Really great stuff! Your video quality is superb. May I ask what camera you're using?
Thank you very much! Surprisingly enough all of the content is filmed on my phone, which is an iPhone 12 Pro😁
Otimos detalhes ,excelente hoby, valorizacao de cada item de pintura
Thank you bud!🤙🏻
I’m the kind of modeler whose interest in accuracy amounts to exactly zilch, as long as it looks awesome. Let me tell you my life is significantly less stressful. I’ll happily paint an American cockpit soviet turquoise if I so decide, enjoying every bit of anger my actions induce to the 1000% accuracy crowd.
Hahaha I think we are quite alike in that way! Might be biased but I think that is how you have the most fun in modelling😅👌🏻
Lovely job, you made me chuckle ... Derk Arth and not Dark Earth .. but beautiful work on an old bird
Pahahaha oh my goodness I’ve only just released that, that has cracked me up!! My excuse will be I was recording the voiceover at 2am last night! Thanks for the comment🤣🤣😁
Was tempted to buy this kit at the model shop but saving money for the me410 and gloster meteor.
Oooo a very tough choice, but I’d grab one of these as well😉
Nice job mate. Liked and SUBBED
Thank you bud! Woohooo hope you enjoy the content😁
😁😁👍👍 nice one
Thank you sir!😁
Beautiful build though👍
Thank you sir! Really appreciate it😁🤙🏻
Mach Models your mobile aircraft is awesome my friend
Thank you sir!😁
Great build Luke. It reminds me of a Fat Hamster
Thank you! Pahahaha it really does🤣🤣
Great build, and newly subbed! Re the nose weight box, there is a part, A5, not mentioned in the instructions. This would appear to be another "weight box" that fits under the cockpit forward of the weapons bay bulkhead, A9. It doesn't appear to exceed the weight position limit shown in an inset in step 23.
Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy the content. Well how about that, shame that the instructions didn’t point it out but for next gannet build it’ll make it a hell of a lot easier! Thanks for the comment😁
Great looking build again Luke, I love that Royal Navy paint job! I'd love to order from Jadlam but they don't seem to offer delivery to Ireland, not much I can do about that :(
Thank you very much! Ah that’s a real shame, fingers crossed that’ll be an option in the future😁
Great build on this, gives me the impetuous to tackle the one in my stash👌By the way, where did you get the riveting tool from?
Thank you very much, let me know how you get on! My riveter is from a brand called SBS Models. Hope this helps😁🤙🏻
top notch! how long did it take you to complete?
Thank you sir! So that was about 5 days of work spending most of my day at the bench😁🤙🏻
Love The Gannet, used to watch them at White Waltham from the Fairy works. I’m a bit disappointed there isn’t a wings folded option with a kit this size.
I’m very jealous! There sure is a wings folded option, I just chose not to use is as I wanted to show off the sheer size of the wings! Airfix captured the Bi-Fold mechanism incredibly well, so well that it made me get another one so that I can display one with wings folded🤣
I used to watch them taking off from White Waltham as well. My grandfather was NAAFI manager there and had a cottage nearby that ? came with the job. We could sit in his garden and see them taking off.
👍👍
Thank you sir!😁
I'm a regular at jadlam amazing shop great prices
Great to hear!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you sir!🤙🏻
Hi the exact part of my kit was broken like yours luckily I found it in the box.
Well how about that! Perhaps a little something off with the tooling there
My Father was an Observer in this aircraft in the Fleet Air Arm for his National Service.
Oh wow! Im sure he has some super cool stories😁✌🏼
Nice job Luke! Even an old fart like me learnt from this lol
Thank you sir! Haha great to hear🤣🤙🏻
Excellent work and painting!
Thank you sir!✌🏼
love it,just as an aside the invasion stripes for suez were black and a kind of buff yellow colour,not a criticism just an observation,thanks for the tips
Thank you very much! Yes, little bit of a shame I mucked that one up but they still look rather striking so im not complaining😁
