Dominic Thomas Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 This is the Pavla kit in 1/72. Not a favourite but in was in the stash and needed to be built. Big problem was the vacformed canopies. Not the easiest canopies I’ve ever worked on. And looking at the pictures, I’m not sure the profile is the best. Anyway, see what you think. Markings are of 410 Sqn, Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941. I wanted to make this because of the markings, representing a change from the earlier Type A to the Type C, with the low visibility variation in the middle. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall I’m clearing the stash of Defiants acquired to replace the original Airfix offering. Once they’re gone, I can concentrate on the new Airfix release. I have to say it will not be my favourite, but at least the box is not gathering dust in the stash now. Edited August 24 by Dominic Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What to do with the Airfix Battles when a new and improved one comes out? Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Thomas Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 I’d like to do a comparison in a bit to show how Pavla, MPM, & Airfix look next to one another. Thanks for your positive comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD45elect2000 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I have 5 Airfix Defiants and 2 MPM . I think my spreadsheet may be wrong; I believe I have a few more of the Airfix ones. Randall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
