Great looking build. And I'm happy to hear the kit goes together well - I'll have to add one to the stash.

Looks really wonderful!

How much weight did you have to put in the front so it would not be a tail-sitter ? :hmm:

first of all, thanks for the welcome

Airfix instractions say 55 gram in the big bay and 14g on the smaler, dome little bit more. It worked and was not to much.

Gorgeous build and nicely weathered. You never disappoint with your builds. The Gannet is an odd looking bad ass bird.
