Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4, 1/72 - Revell 03775

The Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4 Revell 03775 is a military aircraft model kit to be assembled from injection-moulded plastic, reproduced at the 1/72 scale. This reference depicts the Fairey Gannet in its AS.1 and AS.4 versions, a British carrier-borne aircraft designed for anti-submarine warfare missions.

The Fairey Gannet

Put into service during the 1950s, the Fairey Gannet is distinguished by its unusual silhouette, its twin-fin tail and its contra-rotating propellers. Powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba unit, it served with the Royal Navy, the West German Navy and the Royal Australian Navy. Its folding wings are a testament to its use from aircraft carriers.

The Revell 03775 model kit

This 1/72 kit allows you to build a detailed replica of this classic Cold War naval aviation aircraft. Once assembled, the model measures 187 mm in length, with a 230 mm wingspan and a 58 mm height. It includes 120 parts.

Assembly provides an interesting base for working on the Gannet’s distinctive lines, especially its fuselage, cockpit, wings and landing gear. Careful preparation of the parts, precise gluing and progressive painting will help bring out the engraving and the aircraft’s details.

Assembly and finishing

As with any injection plastic model kit, it is recommended to use suitable glue, model paints, and precision cutting tools. A primer can help achieve an even paint finish, while a satin or matt finish helps reproduce the operational look of a carrier-borne aircraft. Decals should be applied to a smooth, clean surface for consistent results.

Paints, glue and brushes are not included.
