Boulton Paul Defiant.

I really, really need to do this.

I need to take a brand new kit, fresh off the press, and be one of the first to give it a shot. The detail on this is absolutely incredible, and is exactly what we’d expect from the fertile mind of Peter Castle. Positively brilliant execution of a simple master plan: to bring the 1/32 community probably the only 1/32 scale Defiant we will ever see in our lifetimes.

The prototype needs no introduction at all, as it is a bit of an infamous machine that first caught the Luftwaffe napping, and once it’s weaknesses were figured out, we’re slaughtered completely enough that Fighter Command yanked them from all daylight ops.

it sprang from the drug addled minds of the glue sniffing planning board that gave us such gems as the Hawker Henley, the Blackburn Roc,  and probably the Blackburn Blackburn Blackburn Blackburn Blackburn as well.  
The Defiant was rather an attractive machine, especially when put up against any of the aforementioned Blackburn and Hawker jobs.

The kit is nice. Very nice. Superlative. And a quick initial check finds us with a real large scale crate.

Time spent with proper nippers will yield beautiful parts.

Cockpit detailing is outstanding.

A bit of added wiring and busying up will do wonders here.

I’m looking forward to seeing you take this to the next level, as always 🙏

Why does nearly every British plane look like it was flown into the ugly tree and then flirted with every branch on the way out?

It applies to nearly all of them, except of course, my beloved Mosquito. Not that they didn't try to ugly it up too, with some of the later variants...
