Official Boulton Paul Defiant Painting Thread

[miscmini]

Two scales worth of BP Defiants. The 1/144 scale Defiants are Shapeways while the 1/200 scale Defiants are from Armaments in Miniature. The decals on the 1/144 scale Defiants are from I-94 Enterprises and the ones on the 1/200 scale are from Armaments in Miniature.
I used Vallejo Model Color Paints.

Nice work Kev, more Me109 bait ! :)

Really good job. I shall investigate the pastel green as it looks like a good match for the Sky/ Duck Egg green.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

More very neat looking aircraft Kevin.
Thank goodness they weren't on Malta or I would have even more painting to do.;)

A fine pair of Defiants John. May they be as lucky as mine.
Never shot down yet.

Hi Rob,
Once I have My ETO Blenheim IVs done, I have a scenario in mind for 4 battles, 4 blenheims and the defiants as fighter cover bombing bridges in Belgium in 1940.
Next show we do, Battle of France rather than BoB!

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Sounds good to me John.
I will have to drag myself away from that other game for this one then.
Get your women to sign on to the Drome so that i can give them their Doncaster medals.
Rob.

They look good John, in action this weekend ?

[johnbiggles]

Had their first outing as a flight today at Britcon. It is difficult to control even a truncated flight using movement rules designed for dogfighting.
They did eventually manage to knock down aJu88 though.
