Airfix 1/48 Bolton Paul Defiant

Everyone at my local IPMS club bought at least one of these kits yet I, the ship modeler, am the first to build one. C'mon aircraft guys!!!

 

The 303 barrels are from Master, the seat harness (unseen) is from HGW(?). A few of the kit details have been reworked as the detail didn't come out of the molds well, most notably in the pictures the engine cover fasteners. And for fun I separated the rear wheel from the mount. Nice build, the easy to fix part fits (fuselage halves, wing halves) were so-so, the hard-to-fix part fits (such as clear parts, undercarriage, flaps & fins, wing roots) were very good.

That is a beautiful build of one of my favourite aircraft which even I must admit is a bit of an oddball, I just wish someone would bring out a 1.32 scale version for me.

 

Cheers
