1⁄48
Thursday, July 23, 2015 - 11:23 PM UTC
Airfix have won many new fans with their recent new-tool quarterscale Spitfire and Hurricane, but their announcement spotted by Luciano Satornetti of the first ever mainstream kit of a Defiant in this scale is possibly even more exciting.
News of the new 1/48th scale Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant will be of great interest to many modellers and hopefully the images above illustrate just how impressive this new model will be. Sitting perfectly with the new 1/48th scale Spitfire Mk.I, Hurricane Mk.I and 1/48th scale Ground Crew Set, the Defiant will definitely be on the wants list of many and may even tempt some lapsed modellers back into the hobby.
The kit will include decal options to finish the model as one of two Defiant day fighters:
1) Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I
L7026 PS-V, P/O PL Kenner and P/O CE Johnson, RAF No.264 Squadron, Kirton-in-Lindsey, August 1940 Battle of Britain
2) Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I
L1572 KO-I, RAF No.2 Squadron, Hatfield, South Yorkshire, September 1940 Army co-operation trials
This fantastic new model is due to be released in February 2016 and is available to pre-order now.
