    **** FINISHED: 1/72 Defiant 264 Sqn PS*V

    User name: N4521U
    Name: Bill
    Category: 2 Intermediate
    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

    Great work Bill!

    The Blue of the roundels looks too light to me (or is it just the effect of the light?), but you've done a great job!

    Looks great. Better than the entry into the Melbourne 2010 model expo. Well done.

    Very well done Bill.

    In the realm of dog fighting, if it's a fair fight... you did something wrong.

    Beauty Bill. I see what Evan means about the roundels, but not your fault if the shade is bright. Great job mate, and hope to see you back soon after your op., good luck !
