Airfix 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I

First Airfix kit in many years and man... they have really come along way. Really nice kit. Well engineered. Made a few mistakes here and there, particularly with the Alclad flat picking up every floating thing in the world and mucking up the paint but overall - she looks like a Defiant. One of those planes that lacks a great military history record but I sure like the lines.

Nice work! I think she looks good?

Nice finish! Are there any pitfalls on this kit to watch out for? Or does it go together with no problems?

[keavdog]

Thanks. Stick, it goes together really well. Getting the turret in is a little challenging but even that wasn't too bad. Ill be doing more airfix kits.
The eduard canopy masks Re challenging. I thin the turret require something like 27 masks.

Well it's nice to hear the kit has no fit issues. I've often wondered if the turrent was going to be a challenge. Well done! I've got get my hands on one and do mine in Nightfighter version.
