    Looks great, John (@j-healy). Lots of work, but it will be worth it in the end. The small decals seem to take forever.

    I installed the main gear and did more detail painting today. Pay attention to the instructions when assembling the landing gear and especially the wheels. The landing gear isn’t complicated but it is unusual. You must install the gear doors first as the instructions direct. The wheels are handed left and right, keep track of them during and after assembly.

    All the little bits are ready to go. I’ll give it a semigloss clear coat and do the final assembly tomorrow. Hopefully I can post it no later than Wednesday morning. Thanks for watching and I hope I helped any potential Gannet builders out there.

    For a warplane, this really has a lot of different colors involved, John (@j-healy). You are an optimist. When I get down to the final bits, it always seems to take forever.
