This is Airfix new tool Boulton Paul Defiant Mk1 that I built over the past couple of weeks, I'm calling this complete.
The new build and fit is very good although detailing the cockpit up a bit is a must even on this scale. Airfix are doing the 1/48 scale of the defiant next year which they say is all new tooling so I hope it's not just an upscale of the 1/72?.
Brush painted as my compressors with my brother in law ( he says he can repair it??
Paints used Revell/ Tamiya/ Vallejo, given coat of klear before decalling ( extra decals used from spares drawer as original decals had an accident with. Chipping and weathered with oils
Pin wash and pastels used. Elastic sock cotton used for aerial wire/ ca glue
Hope you like it and usual comments welcome.
