The Fairey Gannet AS.4 was a British carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft used mainly by the Royal Navy during the Cold War. It participated in patrol and reconnaissance operations over the Atlantic and North Sea. Thanks to its modern turboprop engine, the Gannet set new standards for naval aircraft in its class.

The Eduard FE1425 set significantly improves the visual qualities of the Airfix model – the exceptional precision of the cockpit instrument details, seat parts, and small switches and panels gives the model outstanding authenticity.
