Here you go then - Airfix's little 1/72 Boulton Paul Defiant. Brush painted with Hataka paints. It's a cracking little kits this, and I look forward to building the other two I have in my stash.
Hope you like it.
Cheers!

That is some outstanding work, young man!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Lyle, it's a bit rough around the edges but I'm pretty pleased with it.
I might get my SLR out later in the week (assuming I have time) and take some better pictures.

Thanks John!
It's a handy little backdrop for photos, although its actually a Soviet Cold War hanger!

Excellent finish Stuart! That sure looks great! I really love the paint work. I was wondering about the colors, and if those were Humbrol. Those Hataka paint really nail the RAF colors dead on target for shades.

Thanks Carlos - much appreciated!
The Hataka paints are pretty good, I think their colour research is excellent. I don't tgink I've found a shade yet I've questioned. Alas I don't use Humbrol much, my family complain about the smell of enamels and I'm not overly keen on their acrylic. Saying! that they've recently started making them in the UK, so I thought I might try them again to see how I get on.
