Airfix Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4 - 1:48.
Considered one of the most distinctive aircraft to ever be seen in
service, the Fairey Gannet was just as capable as it was unique
during post-war times. Its unconventional design was in response to
a 1945 Royal Navy requirement for an advanced carrier-based
turboprop and capable enough to withstand operation at sea. The
Gannet was equipped with all manner of the latest electronic
detection, all intended to counter the recent expansion of the
Soviet submarine fleet at the start of the Cold War era.
