Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I - 1:48 Scale

Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I 1:48 Scale Model Kit A05132 RAF Night Fighter

The Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant NF.I is a highly detailed 1:48 scale plastic model kit depicting one of the most distinctive RAF aircraft of the Second World War. Kit A05132 captures the all-black night fighter variant that played a vital role in Britain’s night-time air defence during the Blitz.

Initially outclassed as a day fighter during the Battle of Britain, the Defiant found its true purpose as a night fighter, where its powered turret and concentrated firepower were better suited to intercepting Luftwaffe bombers. As the night bombing campaign intensified, RAF Defiant crews developed new interception tactics on the fly, helping to establish Britain’s early night defence network and restoring the aircraft’s reputation.

This Airfix kit includes 113 parts and offers two authentic RAF scheme options, making it an excellent choice for WWII aviation enthusiasts, RAF historians, and scale model hobbyists. With a Skill Level 2 rating, it is suitable for both intermediate builders and confident beginners looking to step up to a larger aircraft kit.

Inside the box you’ll find the plastic model kit, clear assembly instructions, a paint layout guide, and high-quality decals. Once completed, the Defiant NF.I makes a striking addition to any WWII aircraft collection, especially with its iconic black night fighter finish.
