Azgaron Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Nice, looking forward to seeing it. I think I built it at least once, way back then. Azgaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick_Nevin Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 BTW, anyone notice the mistake in the boxart !? :) The rear deck being up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwin Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 The rear deck being up? Correct !! Another strange thing. The Defiant was pulled from the dayfighter role after heavy losses. So I find it strange to see a black Defiant against 109's in daytime. Here's some more progress... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

erwin Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) Done !! Not much to be proud of. It's a crappy 40 year old kit with lots of errors. But this took me back 33 years in time when I only build these Airfix kits. Edited September 4, 2007 by erwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Rat Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Not much to be proud of. It's a crappy 40 year old kit with lots of errors.But this took me back 33 years in time when I only build these Airfix kits. Takes me back too Erwin, it was one of the first kits I ever made, over 45 years ago. :D The nose contours are horribly wrong, but it was the only game in town for years and there have been more than a few who've managed to turn out a silk purse from the sow's ear, you've done a nice job on that! B) I have one in the stash that's being 'whiffed' into a tropical tankbuster, might be ready for Silly Week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrallman Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 very nice work, though somewhat small for your usual builds no? good job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwin Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 though somewhat small for your usual builds no? Small it is indeed !! But with the Defiant being one of my favourite planes,I just felt the need to build this. I shall buy me a CA 1/48 th Defiant to get a better model. So ,that will be my third entry into the GB. BTW,you might remember I did a wooden 1:16 th Defiant some years ago too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azgaron Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Nice build, brings a lot of memories. Maybe it's time to go looking for one. Looking forward to seeing the CA kit too. Azgaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
