Finished - Boulton Paul Sea Defiant defiantly built in one week

[Bungle]

Not again !

After my decision to make a il-28 for the last GB and finding Zenrat had a similar idea. I now find that finally coming to a decision on what to do for this GB .... Mossie got there first ! (Well sort of)

Waiting for the camera batteries to charge but trust me I've decided on the Boulton Paul Sea Defiant.

Yes a Defiant (sorry Mossie) with wellies.

Ironically I only made my mind up a few days ago too!  No worries, we'll just have our own 1WDGB.

Looking forward to seeing it, much prettier than a Roc!

Well I have a Sea Defiant planned as a future build, so that is 3 of us 

[Gondor]

Make that four 

Got all the bits just not got around to doing anything with these nice new Defiant's that Airfix have produced in the last year or so.

Thanks guys... nice to know that the Defiant is so popular.

Photos .... nothing else done as today has been manic and I'm knack  tired


So its the new Airfix Defiant



But should it be a mono float or



a twin...?

What a collection ! Love them all. The radials, the Griffons, the Mistel....wow.

That is not the appropriate way to take up the gauntlet, young man!

Get back to work & show this upstart who's the Master Modeller around here, right this instant!

I meant that as a challenge and view of possible options rather than a put down so I have removed the message.

Apologies Gondor my remark was meant as humour with a sad face with awe at those models. Please re-post the Defiants as I'll defiantly continue to produce something may be not as good but something.

Young man ? Me ? I'm 61 next week !

Right ! Work is continuing, pictures may follow but things are not progressing very fast. It's been one of those weeks.

So far my boiler has broken down needs replacing (£3k), my car got a terminal MoT failure so replacing it with a 2007 Kia (£3.5k) and then my son has a crash into a fence in my old hot hatch that I gave him several years ago. He's ok but then I found out it was my fence he hit........

Anyway the fuselage halves have been joined but I forgot to take the pictures before I did it. So soon to follow - a picture of a fuselage and several spring clips.

Bungle, that face shows as "Angry" so I took it as that rather than a sad face.

The pictures are from those I took at Perth this year so I will just post the link as its past midnight at the moment.
