The 1/48 Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I is a pre-order release capturing the night fighter variant of this distinctive British aircraft. The Defiant, initially designed as a turret fighter without forward-firing guns, saw a more effective second life as a night fighter during World War II. Its unique profile and operational history make it a compelling subject for modellers interested in less conventional wartime aircraft.

This newly tooled kit in 1/48 scale is expected to include finely moulded parts, detailed internal structures, and options for various markings used during nocturnal operations. The larger scale allows for accurate representation of the aircraft’s dorsal turret, cockpit layout, and radar-era modifications. Ideal for display either in flight or on the ground, this model offers a great opportunity to build a rarely modelled aircraft type that played an important role in Britain's home defence during the Blitz.
