Peter Marshall Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 So far 2017 isn't great for modelling for me - this is the third kit i've started - first an Amusing Hobby kit that I managed to spill cellulose thinners on, then started the new release of the Classic Airframes Blenheim, only to find that i've been given 2 resin starboard cockpit sidewalls and no port sidewall. So wanted to do a kit i know will fit - out with a Tamiya :-) I got this off ebay a while ago, came with the Eduard etch set as well so started by fitting etch Then a quick blast of primer, followed by some Mr Color RLM66 Peter 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Cool. Like seeing this one go together. I have three in the stash as I think it is just a lovely looking plane. And apparently, it just falls together, so even better! Can't wait to see you tackle the paint scheme. Edited February 4, 2017 by Thom216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
