How modern destroyers should look. Not with a singular pitiful gun. I like the ferry hull. After all modern warships don’t have inches of plate armour like the dreadnought days.
Twin engined scarab could be a trainer for the lightning, I like the swingy wingy- is that a cancelled British project by any chance? Can’t remember reading about a cancelled project much like what the f14 turned out like.
It’s a british model company although the kits are made in China. I think the likes of Tamiya, revel, academy to name a few, are probably more popular internationally. @Hedero
When I was a kid and my older brother got the airfix model of a defiant and I was massively jealous. That was the 90s, do kids still do airfix? @Hedero
Very nice, has been on my list of potential builds but I’d never get round to it. Incidentally it was an ambassador that crashed on takeoff killing many of ‘busby’s babes’ in Munich.
Thank you both! @BusterShortWolf @Alien yeah, I don’t know why they didn’t try a turret-less version when the losses started mounting. I guess the priority was producing spits - they even experimented a defiant style turret on a mosquito.
Hmmm. Debatable. It made a successful night fighter but was no match for a 109 in straight up daylight dogfight (unless it was mistaken for a hurricane) @X4JB
Thanks but I’ve definitely seen better from an iOS user - it’s disturbing what some wizards can make out there! I don't do cockpits for instance - way too fiddly on my old iPad Air 1 and too many parts causes crashes! @CrappyNames
First build. I think the only rational thing is an upvote, spotlight and to follow your creations in future!

+2The tsr comes again!!
Very good, but why use smooth edges on the lower half of the fuselage? Definitely doesn’t look right.
That is one big tail.
Ref the scorpion, terrible way to go. Slowly descending through crush depth. Good build once more.
Not anytime soon I’m afraid. There’s plenty of good examples out there though. @TitanIncorporated
Damn good for silver/gold let alone bronze! I wouldn’t have used the turboprops as the sound is all wrong. A very minor detail in an enjoyable build!
+1Gee thanks! Good to see peoples awareness of the type! @TitanIncorporated
Manufactured by someone else to a different concept, but yeah. Just like a hurricane.... @lol112
It was easier just to reply to your post I guess. Now that I’ve had to write this probably not.... @BlackBoA

My my, rather busy fellow! But I must agree with @BlackBoA
Beautiful job, and for 126 parts it’s a bargain!!
Is that a working bouncing bomb..... hang on, I’ll be back in a minute....
+10Absolutely. Without a shadow of a doubt. What this needed was a turret on the back. @ssenmodnar
Really smart looking design!
Excellent, I have something in build that could use this (once again!)
Nice looking build!

Very nice, reminds me of a Denel Rooivalk - I don’t know if that was your inspiration?

Neat job!
Goldfingers private jet? Why have you not built in a while, so close to platinum as well? Thanks for looking at my Victor btw!
I like your attention to these interesting types!
No worries! You should be plat by now tbh with your skills! @Zott
+1Initial screenshot doesn’t do this any justice.
Thank you for giving this it’s 60th upvote @NANOMAN I’ve never made it to the 60s before!
I concur! @TheFantasticTyphoon

+1I like all these Gucci screenshots for the main picture. Makes me really happy I’m confined to iOS......
+1Definitely up there amongst the best and it’s a shame such a beast didn’t get more attention. I would have spotlighted for sure!
Not many decent B-26s on this site - this looks promising, I think you should persevere!

Man I love this, love the artwork!!
Lovely build, shame your not building as much these days.
+1Great job, big fan your low-part-count replicas!
+1Man this is beautiful, love the gulf decor! Just needs a page 3 pinup near the cockpit - although “dressed” in compliance with SP rules of course!
“Sorry son, they got us!” @Zanedavid
Batten down the hatches! This typhoon has also got the audacity to cancel some rugby matches damn it!

Thanks! @Zott must say I didn’t expect that from a humble defiant!
I do like Blackburn’s aircraft, but yeah the firebrand was pretty poor! @Noname918181
Awesome, cheers for spotlighting! @pancelvonat
Happy days! @Evenstsrike333
Wow! Thanks for the spotlight @RailfanEthan
Cheers! Chuffed to bits you think so! @LuftwaffeAce262
