After looking online for sometime can anybody confirm that Classic Airframes produced a kit of the airborne early warning version of the Gannet? Better still, can you post phots of it? Do you want rid if it? Thanks. |

I know there was a box art on their web site, but I don't think they ever issued the kit, I would have sold a kidney to finance one! |

Linky Scalemates record it as released, but I'm very sceptical about that claim. There's no evidence of the kit being released on t'internet. peebeep |

It was never released. Only the version I sold you was but I seem to recall a conversion out there. FAA Models? AlleyCat? |

There is a resin full kit, which looks super. AtoZee or AlleyCat? Would love one myself and that may be the only way to get one as I can't see Airfix doing an AEW Gannet anytime soon There is a conversion, which has to be new fuselage not just the radome. |

That's in 1/72nd, not 1/48th. I keep looking at it but never quite taking the plunge! |

My bad Drewe, put it down to the brain fog Should have connected the dots to Classic Airframes herp derp Would be an expensive leap of faith for me never tackled a resin kit before. I don't fancy tying up a relatively large wadge of cash in the stash. Not that several Airfix kits would fair much better Must stick to the pledge of abstinence |

Better stick to a pledge of Absinthe. Then you don't give flying at anything! Edited by Rory, Feb 28 2014, 06:54 PM.
