Roll out the Blenheim MkIVF


Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.  :)
