Seeing Doug K's ground attack Defiant has me thinking of a second Defiant build from me. A Naval one, but as a dive bomber with perhaps only a single Lewis gun in a simplified "turret" ?

Watch this space 😉
2 more Defiants on order......
The P85 was the navalised Defiant which lost out to the Roc. The drawings I found online of the P85 are almost as hideous as the Roc, so my next "Sea Defiant" will have more in common with the Defiant, than the P85! 🤣

:thumbsup: I will leave it to the expert and save my idea (s) for after the GB  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

A broadside...  ;)

Now that one I like :)

Invokes the idea of massed firepower, rather well, I think.   :thumbsup:

I've got a fourth build for this GB on the go now. The others are doing OK, but this one will be a 'paint conversion' with a seriously time warped backstory.   ;D

Naturally it has LONG wings  ;D and this one has two engines as well. No, it's not another PR19.....  ;)

When it gets to the paint stage I'll post some pics, as it's proving a bit of a pain to build, even though it's OOB.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit
