AIRFIX 1:48 FAIRY GANNET AS.1/AS.4

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.
