Reini78 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 #23/2020 My dad´s latest completion. Airfix kit, seatbelt decals for the pilot seat from the sparesbox, masking tape for the other seats, painted with a selfmixed RLM65 (mix not known anymore), ochre paint mixed with Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow and Gunze H310 Tan, Gunze H309 FS34079 green and Tamiya XF-10 Brown. Markings are from Lift Here Decals and LF models. Used EZ Line for the antenna wire. The kit provides only one type of pitot tube, so my dad cut off the lower part and glued a plastic rod onto it to get the needed one. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235079732-balkans-brit148-bristol-blenheim-mki-royal-yugoslav-airforce/ Besides the initial two British Blenheims which came in silver, Yugoslavia produced 40 licence aircraft that where factory painted in the Yugo 3-tone scheme, a further 20 used RAF aircraft were bought too. These came in DG/DE over black camo. Most of them were repainted in Yugo camo until the German attack in April 1941. Decided to build one of the repainted planes. Lift Here Decals were for aircraft No.3548. This was the only imported Blenheim that received additional defensive guns and a new turret. Because my dad is no scratchbuild god he decided to leave the number away and apply none. The roundels were too big, so I bought a LF Models Yugo Bf110 decal sheet (used one of these recently as you may remember) and these roundels suited much better.

JWM Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Very nice. This particular scheme was I think in Profile Publication on Blenheim. It evokes my memories since I did the same scheme on Frog (1/72) kit about 1975.... Regards J-W Edited November 5, 2020 by JWM 1

planecrazee Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Absolutely fantastic - beautiful job. You've done a cracking job of the Camouflage scheme and I also love the early Yugoslav roundel of pre/early WW2 before it changed to the more familiar red star. I'm really tempted to do a blenheim in this scheme myself but in the meantime I have a Hawker Fury that I'll be doing in a Yugoslav scheme as soon as I can. Kris 2
Vinnie Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 A master class in modelling. Outstanding work by the old fellow. 👍 1
Greg Law Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 That is very nice. The paint work is superb and the unusual scheme is very interesting. 1
