Airfix 1/48 Blenheim


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

As the magazine has just about finished selling now, I can show you some scenic photos of the Blenheim that appeared in this month's AMW.

 

Fuelled up and tooled up, ready for ops in the Greek sunshine, 1941:

I more than like it - that’s fabulous. That final shot, the only thing wrong with it is scratches on the negative when shot with a box brownie!

Oh that’s smashing. The photos are not half bad either. I bet you could slip the black and white one into a book if you were being mischievous though you might need to scuff it a bit to give it the right patina 

 

Anything to watch out build wise that you can pre warn us about or was it a fairly straightforward build?

That’s just gorgeous, those period style photographs are stunning and the final overall finish is incredibly pleasing. When you add these images to the wonderful kit artwork you just want to open up your wallet and buy both model and follow-up magazine. Excellent modelling and marketing.

Perfect in every way! So that's what a Mk 1 looked like before it got used and abused? The b&w photo could easily pass for a period image. Looking at the 1/48 kit, I am so disappointed that Airfix screwed up the cowlings and nacelles on the 1/72 releases- the extra Bolinbroke bits in the cowlings are easy to correct, but those porky nacelles....! Glad they at least got the nacelles correct for you 1/48 modelers, though.

Nope, it all went together well as I recall. Just having to install the undercarriage very early on was a bit of a pain.

 

Thanks for the comments folks,

Dean
