Night fighters part 6 - MPM Defiant

Recommended Posts

Now Ratch has hijacted my numbering system 😆, here is my build of the MPM 1/72 Defiant I in the markings of 264 Sqn based at RAF Colerne in the summer of 1941. 
A better kit than the Pavla offering in my opinion but still not up to the latest Airfix release.

I was happy with the glazed parts. However, the undercarriage doesn’t look right - check the third photo. It seems to me that the legs have moulded to show an aircraft in landing configuration. It would have been much better I think to mould the legs in a landed, at rest configuration with the oleos compressed. Anyway something I can work on or look out for in future kits.
