Tim, I am looking at getting this kit, not built Sword model before. You've done a fantastic job and it looks great but what was the kit like as it went together?

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Good job ! Cheers.

Pierre-Christian Baudru
How was the build ? Good fit ?

Hanno Kleinecke
Exceptionally good work, I really thought it was 1/48 .

Christian Ristits
Fantastic Build Tim!

Tim Hedworth Författare
Thanks guys...
Regarding the fit Gareth and Pierre, she went together well considering there's no locating pins. There's not much going on inside but you don't see much anyway, undercarriage is a bit rubbish as are the decals (uber-thin), instructions aren't the best either. It's not a kit for the beginner let's say that... But she a great little(!) kit, worth doing if you like different. Cheers lads..

We had one of these in the hangar when I joined 849 Squadron many years ago. The Officers Club had bought it and a Sky Raider too from Flambards theme park. You have done a fantastic job.

Jens R.
Very Nice! Excellent paint job 👍

Phenix Outis
Very nice model and the paint job is amazing 👍

Kerry COX
Memories of HMAS Melbourne RAN. 🙂

Christian Lehmann
Well done! 👍

Peter Mollenhauer
Great Job, Tim! Have the kit on my shelf, too. Yours will be a fine reference kit for me, when I start it myself!

Nils Steyaert
fantastic looking gannet 🙂

Tim Hedworth Författare
Thank you very much gentlemen *embarrased face*!!
Isn't the Gannet there anymore Gareth? It's been a long time since I've been....

Gareth Windsor
Flambards still has the one outside the entrance. They were bloody big things really. As for the one on the squadron. It disappeared years ago. The hydraulics were up and running (for the folding wings) and I had heard they had found an engine somewhere that only had 5 running hours on it. The squadron had to move hangars on the base with the Merlin coming in and it was taken away to I know not where.

Adrian R Hummel
I like this it looks really good. I want to wish you all the very best. Keep up the great work.

Clifford Keesler
Awesome job.

Ulf Petersen
Damn, this bird is as ugly as a pregnant sow! But you model looks great, Tim!👍
