Airfix 1/72 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk1
Hi There,
This was purchased in a well-known Edinburgh model shop over a year ago and Innis picked it, so while I was off work awaiting a Covid-19 test result I thought it was about time it was built.
Innis decided it would be wheels up...Yeeeehah... and would be going on his roof in formation with the Lancaster.
Painted with Colourcoats Night Bomber Black, Interior Grey Green and RAF Yellow.
The underside "aerials" had to be replaced with brass tubing as the got very broken.
As always thanks for looking
Cheers,
Alistair
Lovely!
Thank you
Very nice, these B-P's were nice planes but a bit underpowered for the era as I read somewhere. I like the dark color!
Thank you
Very nicely done! The panel wash on the black really sets it off.
Thanks so much. I tried to make it subtle.
Cheers,
Alistair
Nice.
Thank you so much

Great work! I built one awhile ago, the kits' a real gem.
Hi There,
Thanks for that. The kit kind of falls together and looks the part.
Cheers,
Alistair
Beautiful plane and equal build.
Very well done, specially since it is 1/72.
Hi There,
Thanks very much for your kind words.

Great model of a great plane, Alistair. Beautiful paintjob. Can imagine it in formation with the Lancaster.
All the best!
Hi Spiros,
Thanks for that. It's up on his roof, looks good and the wee fella is chuffed to bits.
Cheers,
Alistair
Nicely done Alistair.
Hi There,
Many Thanks for your kind words.

That's a gorgeous model. I built the original and did a lot of work to make it look like a Defiant. Well done sir.
Thanks so much for your kind words.
