Hi Nigel, this will make a great memorial build in memory of your friend Wendy Hickson, I wish you all the very best for this build, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Hi Nige. I think I started watching your channel around the time Wendy gave you the Gannet kit, or maybe when you built the Airfix 1/24 Spitfire which you gave her because she loved your model so much. Why do we lose the really kind people so early? Anyway, I hope Wendy is loving her own set of folding wings up there now. God bless her. 😊
Hi Nigel, That's a great kit and a nice gesture in memory of Mrs. Hickson. I hope that you will show the full build, this kit looks so cool. Good continuation👋🏻
Hi Nigel, excellent idea. I also love that kit and am about to start it myself. Please make sure we see your build on your channel as well and not only on Facebook. Many thanks and keep up your excellent work and channel. James (Luxembourg)
Nigel, hi would have asked Dr Alex about the history of 847 squadron for you, but he is in the middle of moving and all his books are packed up. If he has unpacked by the time you get to painting he might be able to answer your stripes question.
Hi Nigel. No doubt your build of this will be brilliant. As for Quinta Studios cockpit stuff. Yes they are decals of a sort. You remove them from the backing paper just like any other decal by putting them in warm water. But, you have to glue them onto the model. Use either CA or PVA glue to glue them down. Richie at RW Hobbies channel did a short tutorial video on how to apply them.
I have always loved the Gannet. My next door neighbour from the 70s/80s flew one with the RAN. Need to get my a%%% into gear to buy one, but largely sold out here in Oz. Found one on Amazon US, same price as if delivered from an Australian shop (if they hadn't run out).
Dear Nigel, There are those who leave this world having given more to it than they received from it. Wendy was such a person. I imagine that she would undoubtedly have been thrilled and delighted with this tribute. Has the rules been different, I would have dedicated my Corsair to her. Regards, Z
I’m predominantly a wooden ship modeller but often watch other forms of modelling. This is a great tribute. Although the plane is a bit of an odd one. I guess the Royal Navy must of had a use for it though.
Hello Nigel, fantastic way to honor Wendy. Hope you decide to show the entire build. It may help you get your mojo back. Take care.

Thanks great Nigel. I will build the same kit along with you! I also have the AF magazine.

A fitting tribute to Wendy building a kit she gave you ,Nice kit .
I agree with the comments said & the kit itself will be a great build I'm sure.

Thanks for the info!
In honor of Wendy, good on you Nigel. I'm sure she would be very pleased with your choice and the finished model.
A fitting tribute to Wendy and hopefully a mojo builder for you, Nige.

Great to see you back Nigel. I’m really looking forward to this one. 😊. Thank You
You and me both!

Hey , will you be building this in full on UA-cam like you did the spitfire? As I might get one and build along with you as I don't use fb
Yeah, I will do a full build for you all.
@@NigelsModellingBench nice one, I enjoyed the full spit fire build so this should be good too, cheers Nigel 👍
