1:48 Airfix 05132 Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I WWII – British Propeller Aircraft Plastic Model kit
Add a unique chapter of British aviation history to your collection with the 1:48 Airfix 05132 Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I. This distinctive plastic model kit recreates one of the RAF’s most unconventional night fighters of the Second World War, complete with the characteristic gun turret that made this aircraft so remarkable.
Initially deployed as a day fighter during the Battle of Britain, the Boulton Paul Defiant proved vulnerable in daylight combat. As the Luftwaffe intensified its night bombing raids over Britain, the Defiant was reassigned as a night fighter, a role in which it proved far more effective. During the heavy Blitz on London, Defiant crews developed their own interception tactics and achieved successes against German bombers. These all-black night fighters became some of the most iconic RAF aircraft of the era.
With this 1:48 scale model kit, you build a faithful representation of the Defiant NF.I night fighter. The kit consists of 113 parts and features an impressive wingspan of 250 mm once completed. The intricate gun turret is the centerpiece of the model, highlighting the aircraft’s unique design. Two historical scheme options allow you to give your model an authentic finish.
With a Skill Level 2 rating, this kit is suitable for modellers aged 8 and above who enjoy detailed WWII aircraft without an overly complex build. The set is supplied as an unassembled plastic model kit including an instruction sheet, paint layout sheet, and decals for a realistic finish.
