Landing gear bays partly solver. Too few information regarding the ASW model, whose bays seems to be different to these of the AEW and ECM models.
Cockpit shall be solved in a future step.

Preassembled. Still gathering those damages due to combination of poor plastic quality and too strong welding glue. Mr Tamiya, help me with your putty...

Although there are not specific photos and the root is constrained by the thickness of glass, I have tried to resemble the instrument panels of the Gannet.

Ekki, but do not expect anything marvellous: there IS not a good base to make a good one from this one.

I'll look at it with interest. I have such a "Gannet" former FROG\NOVO from ARK-models in my stash.

Thanks you mates. The things is I LOVE this ugly bird. By the moment, I will try to improve the landing gear sinks and complete the cockpit to be a little more real. The recession of panels; well, I think the plastic is not enough thik and strong to try, so I will keep It as It is.
