Fairey Gannet AEW3

Airmodel fuselage with FROG wings

The bulbous radar under the AEW3 Gannet makes it quite distinct from others of the type. The kit provides only the fuselage, including the taller tail fin and rudder. Wings and other parts need to come from standard injetion kits, though the undercarriage legs need to be legthened.  

Percival Pembroke

Airmodel

The Pembroke replaced the Anson, entering RAF service in 1953. The kit, like many from this company, is relatively basic, but can be worked into something presentable. Several injection moulded kits of the type, however, are also available.

The Sea Prince can also be made from this kit.

Vickers Valetta C1

Airmodel

The Valetta was designed as a Dakota replacement using the Wellington wings and a new fuselage. Likewise, you take the Airmodel Valetta Vac fuselage and cowlings an an old tool Airfix Wellington wing. The tailplane, actually for a Viking, is undersized and was replaced by one from a Varsity. This one has an open cargo door and require a full interior to enable this Suez diorama of a 242 OCU machine with invasion stripes based in Cyprus. It has a scratch built ramp base on photos found in the Warpaint book and online.

Anyone who has seen the mouldings of this kit will realise that the result shown here is a marvel of vacform modeling by a world-class modeler. This is a very rare piece of vacform art.
