AndrewCJ50 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Happy New Year to my fellow Britmodellers! Here is my Airfix 1/72 Blenheim MkIVF. The shape is nice but the fixtures and fittings are not as refined as their more recent offerings. It has SBS resin spinners, Eduard PE, Quickboost Brownings and a fine molds nano-aviation Lewis gun. Looking at the plans of the Blenheim in the Valiant book I decided the dorsal turret needed to be lowered by 1 mm. The wing tip nav lights were formed from Krystal clear and sprue bulbs. Hope you like it? Andrew 65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewCJ50 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks for your appreciation guys! Think the new-mold 1/72 Blenheim fighter came out several years ago. Forgot to mention it also has Quickboost carb and oil cooler intakes. The hangar is card from Noy's miniatures Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Animal Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) I'm trying to be cool about it, but I think a bit of wee accidentally came out... As as someone who spends an extraordinary amount of time looking at Blenheims, I have to say that this is by far some of the nicest I have ever seen.

AndrewCJ50 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thank you Putty Animal, now you have got me blushing! Think getting the turret sit right is key to making this kit look correct Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
