Airfix Defiant

I have just finshed the new airfix Boulton Paul Defiant Kit

It has take me 4 weeks on and off and enjoyed doing it as its been about 10 months since my last build

On a whole a good kit that went together well without a lot of filling required

The bad bits: Poor cockpit dashboard, just a decal on a bit of smooth plastic and poorly detailed wheels

Thxs for looking

And here is more good! Just finished a night-fighter and if it wasnt for all the new stuff(New AV-8A and 1/48 Hurri fell off a shelf today! ) i would certainly get more!

Nice finish btw! However, i think you have made a mistake with the fairings as i understand the canopy and spine should both be in the same configuration. Saying that, I know someone else who did that!

Hi Paul

This was THE very first kit I ever built

Airfix: Series 1: 2/s; plastic bag; all sprues black, so no painting, as it was a night fighter

I was only 10, but it was amazing to put this all together myself with NO help

It ended up being blasted to pieces by my first air rifle

Great work, mate

A superb model. I also remember building this as a kid in the early 80s. I may be confused but I remember it being an awful kit to put together. Glad it looks like it's been retooled. Well done.
