Night Haunter…1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I, RAF
Built in 2015. Initially my dad wanted to build a Defiant Mk.II nightfighter with the Classic Airframes kit with the fancy red codes but he didn´t get along with the itsy bitsy tiny PE parts for the antennas, so he decided to build a Mk.I which has no radar antennas. The needed different parts were included in the kit. Owl decals used. Either the paint surface was a bit rough or the decals weren´t the best, partly a bit silvering.
Model shows an a/c of 256 Sqn RAF in 1941
The kit´s nice resin cockpit of which you don´t see nothing in the end...
A great build by your dad, Reinhard.
Recently finished a Defiant myself from Airfix, it is a wonderful aircraft.
It is a pity that you don't see the interior because that is indeed very nice resin.
Well done...on a CA kit...never quick builds, always stretching one's skills and patience.
Very nice work Reinhard, congratulations and well done on a great build!
Wow, accomplishing a result as nice as this from a kit as bad as that is a real victory!

Well done representation of the Defiant, Reinhard.
Good and subtle weathering.
(Your usual) excellent result, out of a difficult kit, Reinhard!
Congratulations!
Lovely - I love the uneven look of the black. Brings lots of visual interest to an otherwise boring paint scheme! Well done.
