whats the collective noun for Defiant's ?

A broadside... 

Now that one I like

Not bad, but would work better for a navalised Defiant.

A broadside of Defiants......

A Defiant with floats? I like it! 

Where did the floats come from?

Brengun Spitfire, the original Skua prototype had Shark floats and the first Spit had Skua floats, so it seemed logical. Sort of.

[PR19_Kit]

  I should have recognised them as Spitfire floats, thanks.

So a logical follow on for the floatplane Roc ? Ideally suited for an island hopping campaign in the SW Pacific or East Indies ?

Yep, that was one of my original thoughts but I thought a Roc equivalent in the North Sea & Arctic would do once I built the last version as BPF.

As soon as I read your build post I had this vision of an Airfix "Dogfight Double" box featuring a dueling Arado 196 and the floatplane Defiant  . Probably in a Norwegian fjord with a burning Altmark type vessel in the background

Depending where in the world you are there is either a month or just under/over to go lads.

Right I'll raise this subject now as I'm disappearing for 10 days or so.  I'll be checking in on line but won't be able to get any modelling done so the question is "extension or not" ?

From a purely selfish point of view I'm tending towards granting one (I think I can get my entries finished, but I don't want to rush them), however should it be 1 week or 2 ?

Opinions gents ?

[jalles]

I'd be happy with a two week extension! I can't ever seem to finish anything on time.

[McColm]

Two weeks please

[63cpe]

2 weeks would be great! I' m also off this week and think i surely need the two weeks...

Yes, another 14 days would come in handy thanks. I'm up to my neck in arranging a funeral at the moment of course.
