The Fairey Gannet AEW.3 was a naval early warning aircraft with a distinctive radar fairing. This 1/48-scale kit is a large and unusual subject for fans of British naval aviation.

Building Recommendations

• Before gluing, we recommend dry-fitting the parts and checking the geometry of the wings, tail surfaces, and landing gear.
• It is advisable to prepare the cockpit, canopies, landing gear bays, and antennas as separate subassemblies.
• For a clean finish, use primer, thin layers of model paints, decal solutions, and a final coat of clear coat according to your chosen color scheme.

Model adhesives, fillers, sanding materials, primers, model paints, and decal solutions are suitable for this build. Paints and adhesive are not included in the kit unless otherwise specified.
