AndrewE Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Finished at last. Amongst all of the recent Airfix Bristol Blenheims here is the MPM Blenheim IV that I started last year for the Bomber Command GB, The canopy is a Falcon vac-form replacement and the props are Aeroclub white metal replacements. Other than that it is straight from the box with kit decals. The nose required major surgery to get the canopy to fit but it all came out fine in the end. It was looking rather forlorn on the bench after so long waiting to be painted that I thought I would get it completed before the year end. Hopefully this will be the start of a series of Bristol aircraft I do, the next being the Special Hobby Beaufort sometime next year. Thanks for looking. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 You've grafted that falcon part on like it was built for the kit! Gorgeous Blenheim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's a great build Andrew, and I'm looking forward to the Beaufort (and Beaufighter?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Great Job on a quite difficult kit! I have two of these in my stash - acquired long before Airfix even announced their release. Your model is a good point of inspiration! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewE Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's a great build Andrew, and I'm looking forward to the Beaufort (and Beaufighter?). Yes a Beaufighter or two (Hasegawa and Airfix) will follow the Beaufort and then a Brigand to finish off. Of course with everything else in the stash that needs building as well it may be a while before they are complete! Brilliant! The transparencies look crystal clear, something not often seen! Congrats on a superb build JR The vac-form canopies did turn out nice and clear, but almost too clear as you can easily see into the cabin which could really have done with having had more detail added. Thanks for all the comments everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
