Spookytooth Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 OK folks, I finally finished a model this year, Airfix`s Defiant new tooling. A nice kit to build allowing that the tolerances are tight as to be expected. Any mistakes are my doing not the kit`s. Paints used were Tamiya and Mr Hobby with the primer being Alcad 2, varnish was Tamiya as well. A/M was just a set of Montex masks and a bit of foil from a porridge pot for the seat belts. Well here`s the pics. A big thank you to all those who followed this build, it was very much appreciated. Now for something bigger, 4 engines instead of 1.

jackroadkill Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Great job there - a lovely clean example of a much-maligned aircraft. The black finish suits her well. I must get myself a 1/48 version to go with my 1/72 one... You may have provided the KUTA that I need! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

112 Squadron Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Nice model of a forgotten fighter in a picture perfect finish. I always loved that particular Defiant N3328. An all black aircraft that features a shark mouth is really unique. It is great tribute to the night fighter crews of 151 Squadron. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFlyHalf Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Nicely done. One comment. I think it could be a bit more matt in its finish. There s a sheen to the model that I don't see in photgraphs of the type, in black. But I wish I could put together a kit as well as you have done.

Spookytooth Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thank you all for the kind comments , they are deeply appreciated. @FatFlyHalf, I did give her 2 coats of matt varnish but it could be the gloss coat I put on for decals, also I have not got any diffusers on my lights.
