Airfix 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I


Recommended Posts

Build 7 of 2020 is a straight build of the RAF's unique/strange turreted interceptor from WWII. Except for the upper to lower wings fit, everything came together very easily. All done with acrylics and weathered to taste with acrylics and oil paints.

Nice one! :thumbsup: Really like how the topside camo turned out.

 

Thanks! I overdid the chipping so I spent some time toning them down. Luckily the end result is OK. 🙂

Nicely done, but both ailerons shouldn't/wouldn't be down at the same time. They could both be in the neutral position or one up and one down.

 

Also, no yellow on the prop tips?

JesTer,

 

First order of business Great job👍 😎

 

Second, Your build is timely as this summer marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain 🇬🇧 

 

BTW; is that the 1/48 Hasegawa RAF Pilot
 

Again, nicely done🤓

Thanks! Yes, was told on ARC FB about the ailerons. Some thing to watch out for in my next builds.

 

Good catch! I missed out on painting the prop tips. 😛

Thanks! Yes it is. But I picked the wrong decals to use. She's not wearing the Battle of Britain markings.

 

Yes it's the Hasegawa RAF pilot from the WWII pilot set.
