Random Award
I was chosen as January Random Award receipient . I chose the beautiful 1/48 Airfix Defiant MkI from the long list of available kits.
It’s a very unique aircraft and I’m excited to add it to my collection.
Thank you, imodeler for the awesome gift.

Congrats Jay. That is a great kit. I built it last year and it’s posted somewhere here. Some very tight tolerances with fit but if time is taken it all comes together

It makes me look better.

Thanks George… I appreciate your warning. I found your posting on the one you built. I think I’ll try using those masks for the clear parts, they seem as though they would be worth the cost.
George Henderson said on February 2, 2019
Not sure if I posted this here; all the clear part masks are in two pieces per panel. This was my first time using masks. When I asked others about this they said it was odd as every Eduard mask they have used is one piece per panel. I just used Eduard masks on my current B6N2 build and they are one piece as well. Believe me when I say I am sold on masks for multi-panel canopies

Your Defiant turned out really well.

I’m really looking forward to getting started on it. I’m going to visit my local hobby shop today to buy the required paints.

Hey, how can you argue with “It makes me look better”. If you feel better and look better …you model better. Looking forward to seeing your Defiant build Jay.
Jay Mitchell said on February 2, 2019
I’ll try building a model while wearing that to test your theory.

Well aren’t we in a Defiant mood. Stay away from the rose colored glasses …I think they have wine in them.
