From DaveD - Aircraft , Boulton Paul Defiant, Fairey Battle ,P38 Lightning (55 points)

My last aircraft entry of the challenge . First up 4 1/200th aircraft for my 1940 RAF collection.  These are by Dave at Armaments in Miniatures - and are great little resin casts. I have also now sourced a host of acrylic propeller spinners and have started adding these to planes in the collection.

A pair of Boulton Paul Defiants -- oh i am so looking forward to taking on the me109's at the front .. NOT

Plus a couple of Fairey Battles

Next up is a die cast 1/44th  P38 from the bring & buy at Hammerhead  i picked up for pennies - it just needed a bit of TLC with some fresh paint , highlights and invasion stripes adding .  This time it had a olive drab base colour so I went with that as a base and tarted it up from there . so about 4 points for this one.

I have really enjoyed doing the aircraft this challenge - its a boyhood model making love rekindled!



Tamsin:

I've enjoyed seeing all your kites flying off your paint desk Dave. I've had to look back at previous entries for the scoring, and think you might have diddled yourself out of a few points, It seems that your Dorniers were scored as 15mm vehicles, so that's what I've gone with for the Faireys and Defiants; for the Lightning I've gone with 28mm vehicle as it is 1/44 scale. that comes out as 52 points, but to continue my theme of power abuse (it must be the altitude making me light-headed), I'll throw in some extras to round it off at 55. And don't you go running off to Curt complaining!
