Official Boulton Paul Defiant Painting Thread
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.

Really good job. I shall investigate the pastel green as it looks like a good match for the Sky/ Duck Egg green.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
More very neat looking aircraft Kevin.
Thank goodness they weren't on Malta or I would have even more painting to do.

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!

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.

Nice Defiants guys. Does anyone have a card for a Defiant?
This any use Pete.

Thanks Rob. I should have know you would have one! Needless to say I will soon have some Defiants for the revitalized BoB solo campaign! Thanks again!
My pleasure Pete, and thanks for the Rep.

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.

Result !

Very nice Defiants, John (and everyone else in this thread!).
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Nice Defiants John. May they serve you well!
