Touvdal Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I will enter this one, the new Blenheim from Airfix. I have just read the exelent book by Tony Otoole, No place for beginners, very recomedable, and been inspired to do som Malta a/c. I have build the Mk. 1 before, so i decided to glue the fuselage together first as I had some fitting issues when doing as the drawing said last time.

Well now you know how to go ahead, after your difficulties with the first ones, On 7/10/2016 at 6:59 PM, tonyot said: Another excellent choice,.....great progress so far and again,...glad you liked the book, Cheers, Tony I think that your book is very good, a super combination of history and modellers references profiles with reference photo , other profile/decal producers could learn from that, very few do like you. Some further progress Engines build, cowling need a bit of work Undercarriage let to dry cheers Jes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 You should file/sand off those little protruding bit on the front of the cowling. These were on the Canadian-built Bolingbroke that was the real aircraft used to get dimensions and details from, when Airfix made the new Blenheim kit. They are extra air intakes for cockpit heaters that were needed in the frigid Canadian winters, something I am very familiar with. In fact, it's snowing today, our first this winter.
