The Turret Fighter of the Royal Air Force

Description

My love to unique designs of vehicles have not boundaries!
This airplane was used during the early stages of the second world war by the Royal Air Force.
It is the Boulton Paul P.82 Defiant fighter, which is unique plane as it only equipped with 4 7,7mm Browning Machine Guns and all of them located in a free, rotating turret behind the cockpit.
It was a nasty surprise for the Luftwaffe Fighter Pilots who thought it would be a good idea to shoot down this plane from behind!
Though I would have added at least a pair more of 7,7 or 12,3mm Machine Guns in the Nose or in the Wings!

Coloured by me by the software: Recolored.

Nice! I built a model of this when I was a kid. Too bad it didn't work out as a fighter, but it's a cool plane. Nice work!
