Balkans Brit...1/48 Bristol Blenheim Mk.I Royal Yugoslav Airforce

Recommended Posts

Should be great, thanks for choosing the Yugoslav machine, a nice tribute to our fallen aviators. They put short but gallant resistance against overwhelming odds during the tragic April war in 1941. Looking forward to see the progress! 🙂

Reini, here's a very useful text explaining in detail how to model the Yugoslav Blenheims:

Though it's directed primarily on the 1/72 Airfix kit, I belive you'll be able to use most of the advices in 1/48 as well.

 

ps. Please check the google translator. 😉

glued the glass nose halves to the fuselage halves

usually my dad prefers to attach the canopies with Micro Klear but this time only (super)glue will do the job to keep the glass nose halves together in the front area

just helped my dad to glue it together with superglue....tomorrow will show if it was successful or the halves are apart again...also hope the CA glue doesn´t "eat" into the windows...
