    Pauls BP Defiant.....Airfix 1/72.....Paint it black GB

    Just parking this til i finish the PBI GB

    Was wondering what to next and this appealed.....i have done it before and enjoyed it

    Thing is the camo version would be ok for the BoB GB and the black nightfighter version from 1941 is ok for the Paint it black GB......so black it is lol

      Nice one Paul 👍

      I’ve got this one in the stash so am interested to see how you tackle it.

      Geoff.

          Great choice Paul. I do like to see these war birds that we usualy see in traditional camo, painted in a night fighter black.

              I love how airfix designed the wing root so theres no gap.....nothing to fill nothing to sand....wonderful!
