Buster213 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 A much under sung aircraft, for a short period the bolton paul defiant flew daytime ops but it just couldn't compete with the ME109 and got hammered, but the guys still took it up until it was moved to nigh time operations... Please to see it as a kit and you have certainly done it justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Beautiful Defiant! That really was a s****ing great turret to fit on that poor aeroplane. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You`ve done a lovely job and made a boring black scheme very interesing,...top job! I`m building an old Special Hobby Defiant kit using the same Airfix decals but I`ve had a go at painting over the codes with Medium Sea Grey as I`m not sure about the codes being red when compared to the red serial after looking at a photo of the real thing. I may well be wrong but I`ve gone with my gut feeling. There is nothing to say that they were not red later on mind you. Top job, Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
