Model:Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.1
Scale: 1/72
Manufacturer: MPM Advanced kit with etch and resin parts.
Accessories: Resin cockpit/turret insides, prop, wheels. 0Model Decals, UK, decals for the VP*S and serial. Bought the exhausts, but they were wrong, so I drilled out the kit pieces.…
Scratch built: Clearance lights from clear sprue, painted red or green. Landing lights from silver bead wires. Radiator exhaust scoop from brass sheet.
Looking for something else a little out of the ordinary, it seems, or I haven't seen, anyone is doing a Defiant. I have located a bit of information on a downed defiant, both pilot and gunner lost, over Thanet (Kent) on the 28th of August 1940. I have found a photo of the headstone of the gunner, the log listing them as crashed, and a photo of the plane before the fact. I thought it would be significant to do something "in memory" so to speak.
It's my first really complete and correct build, it's been a blast.
Cheers, Just Plane Bill
