Defiant Mk. III

[JasonW]

Plan is to build a single seat mod of the Defiant. Have the 1/72 MPM kit of the Defiant TT to work from. Have already started working on it with some minor cleaning and assembly. Still trying to figure out how to do the single seat conversion, not sure if I want to go with a bubble canopy or go razor back style.

Will post pictures in short order.

There was a razor-back version in the early stages. I've got one on the bench that will be a razor-back Australian tank-buster, with cannon pods from the Hurricane IID

For the BoB era, I'd also recommend the razorback look - or a Hurricane canopy. If you go for a bubble solution, maybe a Typhoon canopy would work? A Mitsubishi A6M canopy could also work, but I am not certain how complex the intergration would be?

Car doors using a P39 canopy?

Interesting. That razorback is quite an attractive bird !

I think the Defiant is an attractive aircraft full stop

Actually started work on this one a couple of weeks back. Have the cockpit pieced together and the wing as well.

I have roughed together the fuselage and wings and definitely think the razor back is the way to go.

Aesthetically one of the most attractive RAF aircraft of its time....I've seen a posting on this forum of a teardrop canopied example, a drawing maybe, and that was  .

True. I've got to get over to my LHS and see if they've got any in !
