stevej60 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Hi folk's,well with the Beaufort nearing the finishing line and the Beaufighter next time permitting I thought a Blenheim was in order as looking on e-bay in the under ten pounds section I noticed this kit bagged with a set of FW 190 decals for 99p,some other eagle eyed punters noticed it was not the advertised FW 190 but I got it for £3:20.No decals so I'll keep an eye out for some or put a call out over in the wanted section. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Good luck with this one Steve. The fit around the canopy is a bit hairy. However, it does end up in a nice little model. Mine was a Russian kit version, which meant i had to dig the engines out of a ton of flash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Great stuff Steve You could build the Romanian one, can't recall ever having seen that one built. I might have the Romanian decals for it if you're interested. Good luck. Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Ah. So it was you... I was going to bid but forgot! Looking forward to your Blenheim, and hoping to join in with some of my own after I've got the Type 142 out of the way. Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Still waiting for that pm @stevej60, but got the decals out and their for a post war one without ski's still welcome if you want them, but I also have the airfix Romanian ones you can have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Good progress Steve. I will be interested in how you handle the canopy. I found it tricky to get right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob85 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I’m missing all the fun, looking good on those skis, they must have been a hell of a drag even when up! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob I'd have to agree Rob.sprayed on primer then a couple of coats of the lighter green.next a second coat of NATO black on the undersides then fettle tha canopy before painting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
