Airfix's Brand New

[@andypetrie5270]

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!

[@machmodels]

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😁🤙🏻

[@seekersofrhythm]

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.

[@machmodels]

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😁

[@septiccalling8341]

Magnificent! She was a proper unit, the Gannet, and you've caught the essence of her. That neat RN colour scheme again, too.....👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@machmodels]

Thank you! Thanks for the kind words, glad I have caught that rugged essence😁

[@TonyCosgrave]

The touch of the master's hand. Inspiring - well done !

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much sir! Very kind😁

[@Trevor_Austin]

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.

[@machmodels]

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😁🤙🏻

what a classic. i love the gannet.

Thank you! These kits just really started coming into the Colonies and I just got mine. Really looking forward to starting it.

[@mazinman3]

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!

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! Haha yeah not all of the are super clean but I get what you mean. Really appreciate the comment😁✌🏼

[@markhepworth]

[@truthhurts9241]

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.

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! I know right, very high tech models🤙🏻

[@scaleffect]

What a funky looking plane. I've never seen one before. Great build as usual. Thanks for sharing your hard work as always

[@machmodels]

Very funky indeed! Thank you very much sir, appreciate it😁🤙🏻

[@MarcGray1990]

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 👍

[@machmodels]

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?🤙🏻

[@MrPicklerwoof]

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.

[@machmodels]

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!🤣

[@BlueJazzBoyNZ]

The actual plane is a Beast. Posts on the aircraft are worth a look.

[@machmodels]

Whilst building this I was searching all over the internet for photos of the Gannet. It’s just so weirdly menacing🤣

[@VorpalSlade]

"It was at this point of the build where I started to notice how *bloody fat* the Gannet is!" This had me rolling. Absolutely love your builds, found your channel recently and have it's been absolute perfect bedtime watching.

[@petermckee1061]

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.

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy the content👌🏻☺️

[@CharlieDeltaEchoVict]

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.

[@machmodels]

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😁

[@paulbantick8266]

Remember! We all have to learn to walk before we learn to run. Just enjoy the build and love the hobby.

[@jonhunter8737]

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

[@machmodels]

Thank you sir! You’ll love this as a build I’m sure of it, let me know how you get on😁✌🏼

[@sbg911]

The Gannet was definitely an aircraft designed for function over form, but that is one beautiful build, well done.

[@machmodels]

Haha yessir! Thanks for the comment😁🤙🏻

[@kernow..exp.]

What an awesome model I'm going to buy this from my collection I do remember the original one down at flambard's in Cornwall back in the 1980s

[@machmodels]

Great to hear! I hope you enjoy it🤟🏻

[@ianthomson9363]

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!

[@machmodels]

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!

[@Greg-et2dp]

Mach Models you are good at building Models and airbrush painting that is awesome my friend

[@machmodels]

Thank you mate!😁

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Luke, I'm down here in Tasmania and, finally, I found the new Gannet kit at a price I could afford. I'm so glad I persisted till I found one. While I've been waiting; I've watched this great video on your build. I'm ex-RAAF but, like you seem to be; I'm fascinated by WW2 and post war military aircraft. I've done a lot of research on the Gannets flown by our Navy back when we had a carrier in the 60s. For this reason, I'll be subscribing. They are so beautifully ugly; talk about function over form; the Gannet is all function! 😉 I haven't done a really new Airfix kit in a long time. I cooled on them when they were making really flimsy plastic moulds out of India. Now, they have gone back to making their kits easy on modellers. With such a complex structure, like the Gannet, those placement 'guides' ensure the base angles are correct because if they weren't the rest of the fuselage would be a nightmare to square up. The RAN livery will be different to yours, however, you've done a fantastic job with the light weathering that seems to be a hallmark of this aircraft. Most carrier-based aircraft, including the Gannet, were regularly washed down to lessen the effects of saltwater so they always looked sharp. Your addition of 'sand dust' was a clever move given your Gannet's posting. These are in my Top 20 'light' fighter/bombers. For their time they were a devastating, versatile weapons platform. So, thanks again, Luke. This video will be a great help to me when my Gannet 'touches down'. Cheers, Bill H.

[@arthurfranco649]

A great and nice model. Good box art, a classic of cold war

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much sir!🤙🏻

[@hogweedblitz8739]

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!

[@machmodels]

Thank you very much! Looking forward to seeing you next video🤙🏻😁

[@Grid56]

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!

[@machmodels]

I can definitely agree with that! Looking at the gannet next to the buccaneer they just look mean as! Thanks for the comment😁

[@YenkoSC67]

Very nice!!! Model Expo is coming up next month here in Australia, so will keep an eye out for this kit!!

[@machmodels]

Thank you! Fingers crossed!

[@lewiswilliams5837]

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.

@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?

[@machmodels]

Of course not! So this build took me 5 days but on average it’ll take me around 2 weeks to complete a project😁

[@modelnut]

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 😅😊

[@randalscott7224]

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.

[@machmodels]

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😁

Excellent build of a very interesting model. With Airfix having 20% off this weekend I was going to treat myself to a 1/48 Anson or Blenheim but I'm thinking I might just go for the Gannett instead. I have an unbuilt Tamiya Swordfish in my stash and I think they'd go well together. Also, what is the closing music please? So many model builds are accompanied by, imo, awful Euro ambient music but this is great!

Hi Mach Models I am thinking about getting this kit I was wondering when doing this model did you have any fitting problems and such as what white do you use since I am having trouble on trying to find a good white to aurbrush and brush paint

[@machmodels]

Hi dude! I would say that this kit is for a modeller who has made quite a few kits, that’s purely because it has a hell of a lot of parts which all need to be put into place perfectly to ensure a good fit. If you can get all the parts in correctly the kit will go together with no issues at all, the one area I had a little bit of problem would be nose area but that was sorted out just using some white putty! In regard to a white, I love to use the SMS white. Super good coverage and lovely finish. I hope that helps!

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.
