1:72 MPM Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.1

Very nice. Just like it's rolled off the production line and Boulton and Pauls.

You can see in the shots with the 109 and Spitfire how much chunkier it was than a "normal" single engined fighter.

Thanks. When it was finished I was convinced it was way too big, and resorted to measuring wingspans / lengths and scaling them. Turns out it's pretty much spot on. It dwarfs the Spitfire. It's also surprising how big an aircraft the Gladiator is.

Dr, as I'm sure you'll understand I've been looking forward to seeing this one. Well done - turret in particular looks great.

It's been a really good thread - thanks.

Ta! glad you like it. Next one will be black...or I might do a black Hurricane. I think I've got enough earth/green aircraft now.

Looks terrific - great to see a pic that hits the sweet spot for scale 'eye level', too.

Outstanding work, and meant in the true sense rather than the 'well done for trying' britmodeller sense.
