Basic painting complete. The main issue at this stage was the fit of the canopies.

It needed Jupiter-grade levels of Liquid Gravity not to be a tail-sitter!

Thanks Robert. It is a strange and ugly plane but I think I fell in love with it during the build!

I agree that Gannet is a strange looking plane, but it is not ugly... And your model is a perfect testament that she is not ugly at all 😉
