Nigel Bunker Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) When the Hurricane I changed from the Merlin II/III to the Hurricane II with the Merlin XX the nose was elongated by about 4" from memory (and became the subject of much discussion on Britmodeller). My question is when the Defiant I changed from the Merlin III to the Defiant II with the Merlin XX was the nose was elongated as well? I have the Warpaint with the Caruna drawings but frankly I don't trust them. Edited December 9, 2014 by Nigel Bunker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Just like the Hurricane II (and Spitfire III) the Defiant II fuselage was 4" longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Just a warning that this was missed in the official manual, which quotes the same length for both marks. This was pointed out to b=me by Les Whitehouse, of the Boulton Paul Museum team (as was). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
