Eduard SS290 Gannet AS. Mk.1/4 Interior 1/72 Trumpeter

Eduard SS290 Gannet AS. Mk.1/4 Interior 1/72 Trumpeter is a high-quality photo-etched detail set from Eduard, designed for the plastic model of the British carrier-based aircraft Fairey Gannet AS. Mk.1/4 in 1:72 scale, produced by Trumpeter. The set was created especially for advanced modelers who want to achieve a realistic and highly detailed cockpit for this unique Cold War-era airplane.

The Fairey Gannet AS. Mk.1/4 was primarily used by the Royal Navy (United Kingdom) in the 1950s and 1960s for anti-submarine warfare operations. It made its debut during the Cold War as an innovative aircraft featuring a turboprop engine, a distinctive triple-crew cockpit layout, and a recognizable appearance. The Gannet operated from aircraft carriers such as HMS Ark Royal and HMS Eagle, and participated in numerous patrol missions across Europe and the Middle East.

This Eduard set from the Zoom line (catalog number SS290) is made of thin, factory-painted photo-etched metal sheet, allowing for extremely accurate replication of cockpit details such as gauges, seatbelts, control sticks, side panels, and instrument boards. Thanks to the precision engineering and the materials used, the set faithfully recreates the Gannet’s actual cockpit, greatly enhancing the Trumpeter model. The product does not include resin parts or 3D additions, which enables a quick assembly without the need for advanced modeling tools.
