This set has been specially designed for Airfix plastic models in the popular 1/48 scale. It is the perfect choice for enthusiasts of British aviation from the Cold War era.

The Fairey Gannet was a British carrier-based anti-submarine warfare aircraft, used mainly by the Royal Navy (Fleet Air Arm) since the 1950s, i.e., during the Cold War. The aircraft was widely operated from British and Australian aircraft carriers and took part in border patrol missions in areas threatened by Soviet submarine activity.

Thanks to the use of 3D printing and photo-etching technology, an unprecedented level of detail has been achieved, clearly enhancing the realism of the completed model. Such an upgrade brings out details that would be impossible to recreate with the standard kit.
