Airfix new 1/48 Gannet (with a few mod's)

Hope you like the overall view of the build. With a few mods to the Airfix kit, it opens up a few more colourful Gannets.
I want to thank all of my subscribers and people who support this channel; hope you all have a nice break wherever you live in the world.

[@stevesmart2545]

I may be slightly sad but it makes my day whenever you post a new build. You have a unique style, which is a joy to watch/listen to and the builds are always brilliant. Happy Christmas Greg😉

[@septiccalling8341]

I second that 👍🏻

[@billywindsock9597]

The Gannet is an absolute beast. They have one at Duxford. It looks as if you fired anything at it, it would just bounce off.

[@bogrot69]

One cant possibly hear the terms "sleek" or "aerodynamic"without immediately thinking of the Gannet 😁❤

[@jankolasinski8983]

"It's only a plastic kit"! 🤣 I am going to remember that Greg every time I get stuck! Have a good break and, as usual, thanks for sharing another great build

[@roberterdei8627]

Some build for speed (accuracy be damned) some build for accuracy (see scale model) and most try to stray somewhere in-between, reserving the right to chicken out if it's all starting to look a bit ugly. It seems like all are accepted schools of thought...

[@kitbuster]

Early Christmas present , thanks Greg, some great stuff in 2023, looking forward to next year 👌

[@GregsModels]

Have a good one kitbuster👍

[@GregsModels]

Anytime 👍😎

[@lesvenus3788]

For me, the best build I’ve seen of the Gannet so far. Absolutely fantastic Greg.

[@ianhamilton3172]

As usual - fabulous build! Love the old Gannets. I was serving in the RAN when we changed from Gannets to Grumman Trackers, & Sea Venoms to Skyhawks. Was always amazed by how big the Gannets were. Love your videos - always lots of food for thought, excellent commentary, & great results!

[@robertchaney8684]

Simply amazing! Surviving nearly 5 decades…still have my “unassembled” Frog Gannet, big THANKS to Airfix! And to You! Blessings & enjoy the holidays!

[@GregsModels]

Same to you Robert👍

[@jeremyalam480]

Amazing-hardly any plastic surgery, save the therapeutic minimum in building up that fairing, hollowing out a bulkhead, and cutting some styrene boxes for the interior. Guess even you need a break from the major mods now and again. Great work as usual, with your usual quirky, entertaining approach, always a delight to behold. Wonder how Airfix got those details so wrong, especially since they've been conscientious to lift their game recently.

[@Simon_Nonymous]

They are human beings with a schedule to meet I guess. I still get a little cross with the Mosquito B. XVI kit where they could have admitted a whoopsie and issued a free 'put it right' sprue, or again the Vulcan Blackbuck whoopsie. Maybe not a case of 'so wrong' as these are details, but they can go from silver to gold with very little effort I hope. All I'm asking is £25K a year and working from home ;-)

[@apobap]

Une fois de plus, vous avez réalisé une merveille. Vous êtes définitivement le meilleur !

[@GregsModels]

Thank you👍

[@bugler75]

Je suis d’accord, un vrai inspiration 👍🏼 Ian, Moselle

[@fizzyridertoo]

Trust you to take an already excellent kit and raise it to another level. You're an inspiration even if I don't have the skills to reach that level.

[@GregsModels]

You can do it!

[@northlandrider5396]

Enjoy your break Greg. As a child of the 60s I shudder to think of the disasters (and fingers) I glued together in a mad rush just to see the finished article. Your work is an art form. Have you stopped doing your trademark introductory hippy wave permanently? Hope not. Merry Christmas old son, and I look forward to a resumption of play in the New Year.

[@GregsModels]

I may throw it in every now and them, just to upset people😂. Have a good one👍

[@troughtonchard]

Another amazing build Greg. If you were ever in charge of a wooden spoon no doubt you would convert it into a wooden spoon mk IV and much improve it.

[@GregsModels]

Now there's a future video😂

[@melvynjones3904]

Most enjoyable as ever. I have an article from Aeroplane magazine, which has a pretty good cutaway of the fuselage, showing that the main fuel tank was immediatelybehind the second seat. i waited for your take on the beast, as everyone else goes box standard. Thanks ag

[@pandaphil]

I'm always amazed at your scratchbuilding skills.

[@stephenrose1343]

Well, you won't be awarded the wooden spoon with this build! What a beautiful build, really appreciate the down to earth delivery that accompanies your builds.Have a good Christmas. 👍

[@GregsModels]

You too Stephen👍

[@dave8599]

They have one of these birds at the Pima Museum in Arizona I looked at. One strange looking aircraft, I like it. Your model is super nice, and great video performance too.

[@daiunwin4461]

For your information and maybe the benefit of more model makers I spent most of my Navy career working on 849 squadron and flights the "red" paint was known as dayglo red great build by the way

[@SEMJW]

Outstanding presentation and build. Thank you, Greg.

Great job Greg , I really enjoy your builds and commentary. So unique, have great Xmas and hope to see you next year .

[@stevepringle2295]

I enjoy your laid back nature in your video builds. Zen like calm.

[@dekon70]

Great build as usual! Cannot wait for this kit to arrive in the US.

[@nickjones6065]

What a gorgeous Gannet. Love the folded wings.

[@paulodonovan1142]

Fantastic build Greg. All the best for 2024 mate 👍🏻

[@craigwest8386]

Wow, this came out beautiful, Greg. Thoroughly enjoyed your video presentation, as always.

[@rossdugdale8612]

Hi Greg, great build,love the tip about mixing a little white into satin varnish to dull the silver down, good rendition of high speed silver, ill have to try it. Compliments of the season to you.

[@simonholmes5223]

Superb as always. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you n yours.

[@tomsenior7405]

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Personally, I find this Aircraft to be the ugly sister of the Air Services era. And yet, somehow, she makes for a beautiful display model. Maybe the real thing transforms into a charming curio when miniaturized? Who knows, it's probably just me. Waffle over. Well done Greg, she looks grand. Always a pleasure taking the time out to sit, relax and take in your vids. Bliss.

[@GregsModels]

Thank you! I think with the wings folded it has a certain charm👌

[@georgethomas9040]

As always, I love seeing when your videos get released, always an incredible build and your research and dedication to the craft always shows. Another great build, hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year

[@TheFulcrum2010]

Last year I went to the Yorkshire Aircraft Museum where they have ASW version with the radar bulge under the front fuselage. If an ugly aircraft could be made any uglier then that version is it. Great build Greg as usual. I always look forward to your builds so enjoy your break and have wonderful new year.

[@Simon_Nonymous]

But isn't it just great to see? Not made it there yet myself, I must get myself over there soon.

[@TheFulcrum2010]

Very good collection of aircraft including a Dassault Mirage IV which I've not seen in the flesh before. Up close it's a bit of an elegant beast. Well worth a visit.

[@danreed7889]

Nice looking finish.

I picked up my new Gannet a few days ago and thought wow. Airfix has arrived. I loved your build and it inspired me to pick up one myself

[@sbg911]

Absolutely beautiful build of a plane that - lets face it - fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

[@AlexModeling]

This is a beautiful Model! Great to see this, thank you for the time building this And editing the vídeo. Merry Christmas!

[@GregsModels]

Thanks Alex you too😎

[@mikeMuppetmodeller]

Really really great work on the Gannet Greg, absolutely love it. Have a good break too, merry Xmas and a good new year and hope 2024 is a good one for you. Look forward to the next build next year.

Great work! I think those trainers schemes are the way to go.

[@Mtlmshr]

Good looking model

[@cong404040]

I echo Stevesmart’s sentiment above! Fantastic build, not that familiar with the Gannet but after watching this it’s prompted me to do some research. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and relaxing break Greg. Can’t wait to see what 2024 holds for your channel, all the best sir!

[@GregsModels]

Thanks George and for all your tips. Hope you have a good one 😎👍

[@defdef6230]

Can't wait to arrive home to see your video🎉... easy with a cold beer

[@paulking8235]

Fantastic build. And a massive thank you for not ruining the commentary with the obligatory shitty music other modellers seem to think is necessary.

[@johntreloar8203]

Great build Greg, the wing fold is an odd one, great end result, have a good break and a merry Xmas, hope to see you again in January.

[@GregsModels]

Thanks, you too John👍

Great job Greg. You love making things difficult for yourself. Have a great lil break mate

Another class build Greg, Well better get mine out on the bench!!!!👌

[@GregsModels]

Other than the crew figures; you'll have a great kit on the bench. Happy modelling👍

[@markbailey3508]

These new airfix kits are really well designed and so modular

Your channel has become one of my favorite go-to's as far as KZbin modeling content goes.

[@GregsModels]

Thank you👍

[@finlayfraser9952]

Another masterclass Greg! I can imagine that if it had been one of those American kits from the 50s/60s there would have been gears to make the props counter rotate when you turned them.

[@brianlavery9237]

You done a fantastic job on the Gannet , beautiful😅

[@MrJstone00]

really enjoyed the video, the kit isnt really on my radar but you did great work, enjoy your break!

Superb.

[@defdef6230]

Cheers from Argentina my friend

[@Simonize41]

Very nice.😎👍🏻

[@allanrichards3752]

That's a lovely looking build. I would have to make it with folded wings but they do cover up a lot of the model. I am either going to have to buy two kits or get really creative and see if I can make the wings actually fold with some metal hinges and sliding bits. Ok it won't be scale hinges but as long as they function and don't look too ridiculous I would be happy.
