Thanks for pointing this out Freycinet,I had'nt realised the fairings could be raised or lowered,you learn something everyday and I had'nt realised this before.

I just thought we had two distinctly different aircraft here,those fairings completely change the profile of the Defiant,top stuff mate I appreciate the reply to my thread.

what about the end of the fuselage right before the tail, all the photo's show a regular even decent towards the tail, the one in game just drops down lower before the tail. what is the reason for this?

I've noticed that too, but I think it's related with a specific angle of view.

nah no chance its a definate change in shape rather than an optical effect.

Notice the fairings are in the up position. In the down position there would be a definite change in the slope.

No I'm talking about the rear of the fuselage by the tail it appears that it is a difference between a Defiant I and Defiant II, the II has the regular sloping fuselage.
