Remarkable how much detail you have managed to cram into a Gannet at this scale.

Thank you all for your interest and kind remarks!

Pierre-Christian Baudru, a construção não foi complicada e o modelo foi construido sem acessórios - apenas adicionei algum detalhe nos poços dos trens de aterragem com "plastic card" e fios metálicos (construction went trouble free and the only additions were some scratched detailing on the gear wells made from plastic card and metal wires).

The spinner stripes were masked using masking tape stripes cut with a compass cutter. An heuristic approach ( aka. trial and error) was used to figure out the radius of the stripes. I added one photo showing how the masks were cut and applied.
This model was built as a review for SAM a number of years ago.
