Airfix Blenheim I


Recommended Posts

Did this one at the back end of last year. The camo is purely speculative based on a side profile in 'British Aircraft of WW2' by Colin Mondey Just thought it looked better than the green box offering.

Lovely bit of work, and nice to see a non-RAF example. You seem to have been a bit busy in the last day or so! :lol::frantic:

Builds from earlier in the year before I had a camera. Photography is still a dark art to me. The light changed as I was taking the Blenheim pics.

I've been taking photos semi-seriously for thirty-odd years, including a stretch doing photo-microscopy and macro work as part of my job, with guidance from a couple of professionals, and it's STILL a black art!

Nice job Darby.

I've got that Mondey book, along with the American and Axis ones - great reference material. That's a lovely Blenheim - page 49 in my 1994 edition!

Actually, the Blenheims are said to have arrived in Romania in the British camo so you`re safe. :D Where did you take the no 37 from? I was under the impression that the airfix kit only has the no 8 on its decal for the Romanian version. Nice job!

Spare decals and the fin flash is painted on
