About product

Defiant NF Mk.II Radar Fighter 1:72 (Special Hobby)

A plastic kit of the British Boulton Paul Defiant night fighter in the NF Mk.II version in 1:72 scale from Special Hobby. The injection-molded plastic parts are complemented by 3D-printed and photo-etched radar antenna elements. The decals offer markings for three all-black RAF machines from the period of the night defense of Britain.

The real subject

The Boulton Paul Defiant was a British fighter with a characteristic rotating gun turret instead of fixed wing armament. By day it could not hold its own against single-seat fighters, but as a night fighter it found its place — the NF Mk.II version already carried an airborne radar and defended the night sky over Britain during the Second World War.

Building and painting tips

Glue the fine photo-etched and printed antennas with cyanoacrylate and the plastic parts with thin cement for plastic. Bring out the all-black night scheme with shading and gentle lightening of the panels; apply a gloss coat under the decals. We recommend a primer and painting with an airbrush.

Who the model is for

  • for modelers interested in British fighters and RAF night flyers
  • for collectors in 1:72 scale
  • for builders who will appreciate fine photo-etched and printed detail

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
