Bolton Paul Defiant With a Griffon Engine
« on: January 04, 2012, 08:49:56 PM »
Geoff et al:

Could I request from the graphic guru's a PB Defiant MK.I with a Griffon Engine and 5 bladed prop from a Spitfire XIV?

Thanks, Carl

I did a bunch of Defiants back in the day, including tropicalised Griffon, Sabre and Centaurus engined examples.

I loved your radial-engined Defiants, Mav.  Those were gorgeous.

Cheers,

Logan

Ta for that Logan.  I recall those and the Soviet examples being well received back in the day.

I think it could've looked a lot like the Griffon Hurricane installation

I wonder though if it should have a bigger fin, along the route that the Spitfire took.

Not Griffon-engined, but what might have been a poor fighter MIGHT have been a good low-level ground-strafer, given the "protection" in the rear that the four-gun turret provided. A-T guns courtesy of over-run Luftwaffe aerodromes with captured Ju-87G Kannon.

Hauling that much "heavy metal", I think a re-engining with a more powerful engine would make a lot of sense.  Then, of course, you could go the "still not enough firepower" route and add rocket rails outboard of the cannon pods.
