Nice to hear and great option.Many Blenheims had them. I guess it's too soon to find any review or photos from instructions or kit parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Hobby does the Maryland; Classic Airframes the Baltimore. If you meant Baltimore, that's a problem because the CA kit doesn't show up often on ebay and is prohibitively expensive when it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem shown in the review kit looks very minor to be honest, not that there should be any short shots at all, and should be easy to deal with. (Update: I have 4 of these kits, which arrived yesterday, and no sign of any short shot issues. The clear parts look very good). Â The main landing gear parts are a work of art on this kit; it may surpass the Walrus in terms of detail.

WV908 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) This went a bit quiet post release very quickly. Has anyone dove into their kit properly yet, or is everyone waiting for the Mk.IV?  I thought that with the flyer / survivor markings people would be going nuts for this, but I havenât even picked this one up yet - and I really adore the Blenheim  Cheers,  WV908 Edited December 6, 2018 by WV908 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However having read reviews, seen sprue shots eg Hyperscale today, it would seem that this has all the parts for the bomber variant - including bombs! In any case I think (others may well know better) that the early Fighter variants were actually converted from Bombers.  So presumably Airfix were referring to the long nose Mk lV variants, which I think differed in more than just the length of nose. Thus anyone hoping that the range of 1/72 variants would be repeated 1/48 will be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV908 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Thanks for the reply Denford,  It will be a shame if they donât do the IV. Iâm sure someone will be along with a conversion kit if they donât.  Cheers,  WV908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have found that the internal and external differences between the I and the IV are more substantial than we realise, to the point that a simple change of the nose is not sufficient for an accurate replica of the IV. That said, I would be in for a Mk.IV conversion if it is easier to build than the Classic Airframes kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
