Evening all, Today I've got the Cooperative boxing of the FROG Blenheim 1/1F ready for combat. The Cooperative boxing isn't ultimately worth much more than the base FROG kit imo - the PE cockpit details being all but invisible. I did add some detail with assorted Airfix Blenheim parts. Mainly this included the seat, panel, bombsight, stick, and rear cockpit bulkhead fashioned as usual from the rear bomb bay wall. It isn't perfect, but it's a good improvement. Bar those changes and using Airfix wheels and turret parts, the result is OOB. Originally I finished it as a bomber before remembering that the B/W undersides were a fighter scheme and the fact that 601 doesn't seem to have operated bomber variants confirmed the addition of the gun pack, which was thankfully easy. Thus, the third of a planned 12-15 Blenheims is completed. For whichever reason, there is a hint of silvering evident in photos of this side of the result, no matter what I try - silvering that is only visible from certain angles in the flesh. Odd... Right, the rest. With this one done, I've gone off to work on something a little more elegant - Probably. More soon, Tweener

And here is my proposed 3rd entry. Built at around the same time as the F-106 and in parallel with the Mig-21 which I may also enter. This kit was originally released in 1993 by UNDA and went through another 5 reboxings in the next 10 or so years - this is the 3rd from Cooperativa in Russia, and distributed by MPM. Serge tells me it is even less accurate than the later A-Model one but when I bought it there was nothing else available so I will build it anyway. Pete
