Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've only had chance to work on this for about half an hour a day. Anyway, here are a couple of shots of the latest version of my Boulton-Paul Defiant.

So far, I have converted the fuselage into polys, attached the wings using booleans and put in the aileron on the main wing.
There are a couple of areas that need fixing, mostly the area between the front of the cockpit and the back of the gun turret. I also need to do a bit of work on the tail, but I haven't touched the shape of it since I attached the horizontal stabiliser.

I also need to tweak the shape of the wing further, and add the aerodynamic profile to it. Hopefully I'll get this done over the weekend.

If anybody is interested, here are some reference images that I am using to help me shape the plane.

This one in particular is extremely good for the canopy/gun turret area.

BMS: Yes please, if you can find it. Any extra reference would be great.


Cheers,
Malcolm
