Darby Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Not my modelling genre but that looks very nice indeed. The more I see of these Defiants the more I want to change my modelling ways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habu12 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Excellent, what about your clear parts mine are not the greatest? Foggy? Brittle? not sure what you mean. I had not problems with mine, I did absolutely nothing to them. Just masked and painted. They fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built it last year. Also a gem of a kit. They reegineered this kit when they went up to 1/48. It was no simple pantograph up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Lovely job on this bird. That camo is really crisp - do you mind me asking what method of masking you used to get such a quality result? Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That camo is really crisp - do you mind me asking what method of masking you used to get such a quality result? Tony I use a hybrid method. I make paper masks for the wings and tail, then use tac worms to wrap the camo around the fuselage. Easy peasy!

Ian Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Mine arrived yesterday evening and I'm looking forward to tearing in to it. Unfortunately I need to be patient and clear the three sizeable builds that are already on the bench !! Very nice build, matey, hope mine comes-out as nice as that.

DaveCromie Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 That looks the business! I have two of the 1/72 ones in the stash and I can see one or two of these bigger ones joining them in the very near future. I reckon Airfix should have you on commission based on this thread....
