Gannet AEW.3 aircraft kit in 1/48 scale - Sword model. The Gannet AEW.3 was a British aircraft used by the Royal Navy for Airborne Early Warning (AEW) tasks. Manufactured by Fairey Aviation, this aircraft represented a specialized version of the Gannet, originally designed as an anti-submarine aircraft. Main Features. Role and Function: Airborne Early Warning (AEW): The Gannet AEW.3 was equipped with a powerful radar to detect enemy aircraft or other threats at long range, transmitting real-time information to allied naval and air units. It was primarily used to provide a "radar umbrella" over naval forces, especially during fleet operations, increasing the ability to detect and respond to air threats. Design and Structure: Airframe: Based on the structure of the Fairey Gannet, the AEW.3 had significant modifications to accommodate radar equipment. The fuselage was wider and had a modified structure to include the large APS-20F radar within a large radome under the belly. Engine: It was powered by a Double Mamba turboprop engine, which powered two counter-rotating propellers. This gave the Gannet good efficiency for long duration flights, a key feature for AEW missions. Crew: The typical crew consisted of three people: a pilot, a radar operator, and a flight/tactical officer. Performance: Maximum Speed: Approximately 480 km/h (300 mph). Autonomy: The Gannet AEW.3 had a long flight range, which was essential for staying in the air for long hours and monitoring large areas. Operational Capability: It could operate from both aircraft carriers and land bases, making it versatile in various operational scenarios. Operational History: Service: The Gannet AEW.3 entered service in the 1960s and was used until the late 1970s, when it was replaced by more modern aircraft such as the AEW Sea King. Significance: During its service, the Gannet AEW.3 played a crucial role in the defense of the British fleet, especially during the Cold War, when the threat of air and missile attacks from the Soviet bloc was high. Legacy: Although the Gannet AEW.3 was retired from service, it left an important legacy as one of the world's first embarked AEW aircraft. It contributed to the development of technologies and tactics that formed the basis of subsequent AEW aircraft. Conclusion The Gannet AEW.3 represented an innovative solution to the early warning needs of the Royal Navy in the 1960s and 1970s. Equipped with advanced radar and capable of long surveillance missions, it played a key role in protecting British naval forces during a period of great global tension.

1/72 F-84F Thunderstreak    Il Republic F-84F Thunderstreak era un cacciabombardiere monomotore a getto ad ala a freccia prodotto dall'azienda statunitense Republic Aviation Corporation dalla metà degli anni cinquanta.Il Thunderstreak era uno sviluppo del precedente F-84 Thunderjet, dal quale differiva per l'ala di disegno più moderno ed il motore più potente.Le caratteristiche del nuovo velivolo avrebbero giustificato l'assegnazione di una nuova designazione (tanto che inizialmente il prototipo venne identificato come YF-96A); a conti fatti venne scelta una soluzione di compromesso, rimarcando la continuità del progetto di base (mediante il mantenimento della sigla F-84) ma variandone il nome.

  1/72 Mitsubishi G4M-1 "Betty"   Il Mitsubishi G1M, indicato inizialmente, in base alla convenzione di designazione "lunga", come Aereo da ricognizione sperimentale per la Marina 8-Shi (?) e poi come Aereo da attacco medio sperimentale basato a terra per la Marina 8-Shi (?) ancor prima di compiere il primo volo, fu un bombardiere a lungo raggio, bimotore, ad ala media basato a terra, sviluppato dall'azienda aeronautica giapponese Mitsubishi Jukogyo nei primi anni trenta e rimasto allo stadio di prototipo.Il cambio di designazione ha creato delle confusioni nella bibliografia di settore che lo confonde con il biplano Mitsubishi 3MT5, altrimenti indicato sia come "Mitsubishi G1M" che "Bombardiere da attacco sperimentale per la Marina 7-Shi".
