Revell Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4 [1:72]
Item No: 03775

This Level 4 plastic model kit accurately recreates the Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4, a Cold War-era anti-submarine carrier aircraft. The assembled model measures 18.7 cm in length and 5.8 cm in height, composed of 120 finely detailed parts. Recommended for ages 12 and up, the kit features a scale cockpit with realistic instrumentation, an authentic weapon bay representing anti-submarine equipment, and movable control surfaces for dynamic display. The canopy can be built open or closed to suit display preferences. The kit allows choice between three historically significant versions: the 1967 Royal Australian Navy, 1957 Royal Navy, or 1958 German Navy variants. The Fairey Gannet, notable for its Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba twin turboprop engine with counter-rotating propellers, was a pioneering aircraft in maritime aviation and anti-submarine warfare. It served prominently in the Royal Navy, German Federal Navy, and Royal Australian Navy during the 1950s and beyond. This model offers an authentic tribute to the Gannet’s naval aviation legacy.
