Airfix Blenheim IV versions chin turret question

[wombat]

Hello. Can anyone familiar with the IVf version (A04017 with the green/earth and all black night fighter options) confirm if that boxing includes parts for the chin turret, which isn’t fitted to those versions but is to the versions in boxing A04061 ( free french desert camo). 

this thread shows the sprues and it looks like they’re there but not quite sure...

Yep, everything's there. Scalemates has a link to the intructions for the bomber boxing which shows what to do with parts E13 and H7: LINK. From what I can see parts D7, D10 and E2 are for the other type of chin mounting.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Mike.

Instructions here, too: https://www.super-hobby.com/products/Bristol-Blenheim-MkIV-Bomber.html

 

Those same parts are also included in the Mk.IVF kit ( AO4017 ) but are not mentioned in the instructions.

Great, thanks both. Though didn’t realise there were two types of chin mounting.  Can’t imagine they ever hit a damn thing with it, any road !

Oh yeah! I forgot both types of chin turrets were in the kit. So I guess Airfix has another one or two Blenheim kits to release.
