Luka Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) This Airfix Defiant was built mostly out-of-the-box, except for a new serial number, black and white wing undersides and swapped fuselage roundels. And a narrow fin flash in lighter colours. L6977 (PS-U) was sent on patrol over Holland with 5 other Defiants on May 13 1940. This plane, like the others, was shot down and Pilot Officer P E J Greenhous and LAC F D Greenhalgh (Air Gunner) became POWs.

jackroadkill Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Very cool, Luka. I've a real soft spot for the Defiant. Have you read "Defiant" by Robert Verkaik, by any chance? If not, it's well worth a read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Very convincing Defiant! And I do like those smudges on the port wing root, as opposed to silver coloured 'chipping'. 😉 Very nice presentation, too. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I could see from the photos of L6977's wreckage is that the turret frame didn't seem that dark. Maybe there is a difference in prodution batches?
