Evening guys,
Not exactly sure what I'm doing at the moment..... Just finished the Mossie and now starting ANOTHER wingy build !!
This time it's the Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant,in 1/48..…...

Got some extras in for it,but somehow forgot the canopy masks?!!... Was SURE I had,but obviously not
Anyway, here's the sprues...


... and, I've made a start...

... .....
.... Stay tuned!!

Been looking at mine in the stash, I think precut masks are almost a must.

[Tim Marlow]

Staying tuned Andy….I think I’d want masks for that as well though…..

An interesting aircraft Andy. They have an example at Cosford. I look forward to seeing how it goes.

IIRC Dave Ward built this as a night fighter a while back, found some fit issues with the turret.

It was for a Battle of Britain GB in 2020 in a day fighter scheme of 141 Squadron ( Montex decals )
