Airfix - Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I - 1:48
Product Code: A05132
Quickly outclassed as a day fighter during the
Battle of Britain, the Boulton Paul Defiant was tasked with protecting
Britain from night bombing raids by the Luftwaffe. Not trained to fight
at night, Defiant crews had to develop interception techniques as they
fought but found the aircraft much more suited to this nocturnal
fighting environment.
