Unbelievable! A mainstream 1:48 scale Gannet has been at the top of my wishlist for more than 20 years straight.

Hey Airfix - you know it would be a crime to NOT give us a folding wing option? We want the Ungainly Fowl to look as ungainly as possible!

For background information on the subject, see my groundbreaking Article on ARC from 20 years ago:

Several sites showing 3D CAD renderings of the kit do include pictures showing a folding wing option, so my hopes are up.

Its like my beloved airfix read my mind. I have been wanting a 1/48 Gannet (One of my most admired planes) for what seems most of my life!
