Fishbed Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Hi all, Managed to finish this off finally. Failed to keep up to date with the build log in the WIP area. Oh well, next time. Pretty much as it come out the box. Well apart from the Xtradecals markings for an early bomber version; the Brengun Vickers VGO gun; Eduard seat belts. Think that was it. Oh, and the Eduard masking set (inside and out!) that was fun. No issues with the build. Lots of detail that will never be seen again. Shame. The black is Alclad primer, good old Humbrol 29 for the dark earth and Colour coats dark green (lovely stuff). On to the photos, comments welcome as ever Tim 56
stevej60 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 A fine build of this Airfix beauty,great job on her.
FortyEighter Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 A superb build. I had thought about one of these for the Battle of Britain GB but dithered and now the few that are still available are at ridiculous prices. Mike
Epeeman Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 That's a lovely model Blenheim - looks great Regards Dave

flyingpiggy Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I keep thinking I ought to get one of these ..your build has inspired me to go ahead. Thanks for sharing your work.
tomkil Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 A beauty - the canopy and cockpit in particular are amazing.
bryanm Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Beautiful - love the way you've blended in the nose glazing, and the turret.
Buzby061 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Great looking Blenheim. Having built one I’d say that the Eduard masks are a must. Pete

Pete Normally I go the masochistic route and use strips of masking tape, but in this case the eduard set probably saved my sanity 🙂 (whats left of it) Tim 1
pacificmustang Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Lovely job. I’m building one of these at the moment. I’m especially impressed with how you have faired the canopy in, do it doesn’t look like a separate piece which is something I’m aiming to get right with mine . Bravo Bruce

Bravo Bruce I'm trying to remember how I did it, but plenty of non fogging super glue came into it. Just found some old photos. I joined fusalage, masked inside and out on glass and painted interior. Then glued each half on in turn getting as best a fit as I could. Some trimming was required to get a good fit. Plenty of test fitting needed. Don't forget to take the interior masking off lower down that is hard to reach before glueing. That caused me some head scrathing 😉 Tim 1
