Phartycr0c Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Its been more than a while, but with me being one of Wolverhampton's finest 😉 I thought I would post some images of one of Wolverhampton's second finest, My rendition of the beautiful Airscale Defiant. Depicted as the night-fighter variant I chose to go a little off piste from the kit and marked her up in 307 Squadron (Polish) markings. The kit itself is a robust, fully 3 d printed affair with superb fit and very few visible print lines such is the resolution that Peter has achieved, Thats not to say there aren't any but what are there are easily dealt with by judicious light sanding and a little fine primer and are all but invisible although the camera has picked some up during the photo session. Any that are present will easily stand up to the 3 ft rule! I also broke off and lost two of the barrel flash hiders so I replaced the kit parts with metal items from Master, an easy switch out for those that want to but the kit barrels are more than beautifully printed it was my ham fisted ness that contributed to their loss, likewise one of the turret frame supports. Anyhow, please excuse the photography but here she is. I'm quite pleased with the outcome. Martinnfb, R Palimaka, blackbetty and 33 others 36

dennismcc Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Great modelling, and it certainly looks like the real thing. Cheers Dennis Phartycr0c 1
Cicchino Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Dave, Beautiful! One of my favorite aircraft done superbly. My kit is inching its way up the build queue and I will be looking back at yours for inspiration once it does - the night scheme does make for an impressive looking model! Regards John Phartycr0c 1
