Boulton Paul Defiant(ish)

So, been a few years since I last posted on here as I've been doing mostly real world jobbies.
Anyhoo, this is basically the result of wanting to empty out some of my spares box and rescue an old Airfix Defiant kit.
The fuselage was remodelled using Milliput and plasticard, the undercarriage was made from sprue offcuts. Wheels are Heller Tempest I think. I used Vallejo paints applied via a hairy stick!
All comments are welcome, I may not take notice of the negative ones as this was merely a fun bit of time wasting!

I'd love to see the bodywork on the turret section... the Defiant is pretty wide there, and your conversion really looks like an innocent single seater. Like the clipped wing tips, too. The whole thing looks very good.

I like that, late variant of the P.94.  Great work!

[Glenn Gilbertson]

That looks really good - the hard work paid off!

[Hman]

Cool

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words!

Really like that! Looks great with the shark mouth !

[Captain Canada]

I love it ! Looks so different now....faster and more powerful for sure ! Love the camo.

[nighthunter]

Looks fantastic!

Lovely build. You've given me an idea for a Defiant conversion

Nice.  I would have been hard pushed to identify it at first look.

Gonna be disappointed, no negative comments to make. Looks really good

I do like that 

From some angles she has a P-39 look about her. Wonder what she'd look like with a mid mounted engine ?

I think she's just smelled something by the look of the eyes on the shark's mouth

[Old Wombat]

Needs a later Merlin (XX?) or a Griffin.

Other than that ...

I like it. Great save from a not-so-nice kit. For me, every change really works!
