" ....All things considered the Airfix Defiant is the best all round kit I've seen in this scale..."
" ..Apparently the new one is even better. LOL.."
.. the first of my two coming along nicely - canopy and turret framing a real chore though! that, and trying to get a decent finish in black..here I've gone over the black with some schwartzgrau 66 to give it a little faded and worn look..three or four different canopy options on the sprue as well..
left ; gear on and drying; gear door fit/location is a little haphazard. The small curved triangular lumps at the front of the door are the hinges and can be clearly seen in the front view of the Hendon machine in the first Defiant post below..scroll down
...the (phone) camera flash makes the streaky effects I've added to break up the solid black look a little stark; hopefully should look okay-ish under a coat of varnish
I've yet to figure out what I am going to do with mine! Away skiing for the week so I brought some references to read through to compensate for the lack of plastic :) ! Nice work on your Defiant, the faded black looks very good!

Coming along very nicely! I've ordered a couple from my local sort-of model shop, so am enjoying your build.
