Cut and shut Defiant

I probably originally made this Airfix Defiant around 40 years ago and it was looking a bit sad with a few bits missing. However,ebay came to the rescue with a spares kit up for grabs. It had clearly been too near to a heat source as most of the major parts were warped but it had the bits I was missing - undercarriage, undercarriage doors, aerials, port tailplane. I also cut out the wing leading edges as they had undamaged undercarriage mountings and the port side tailplane attachment section. I opted to change the scheme from night fighter to Battle of Britain period and the decals came from the spares box.
