Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4 is a British anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft that first flew in 1949. The aircraft was used intensively during the patrolling of northern waters and in NATO operations, also by allied naval forces such as the RAN (Australia) and Marineflieger (West Germany). Its unique design—including counter-rotating, twin propellers—is a distinctive feature of its silhouette. Thanks to the Quickboost set, model builders can accurately reproduce this characteristic propulsion system.

This set belongs to the category: "resin accessory detail set for plastic models." It stands out for its very high level of workmanship, typical of Quickboost products: perfectly smooth surfaces, interesting details, and historical accuracy.
