Etiennedup Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The enclosed photo, taken from a 1939 colour film inspired me to give the Classic Airframes kit a go. Apart from the main wheels being undersize the kit looks the part in spite of its age. Opening the sliding cockpit roof and adding two figures were the only additions to an otherwise straight forward build. Cheers, Etienne. 37 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Well done. Not the easiest of kits I imagine. What's the difference between this and the Mk. IV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etiennedup Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks Greg and others.......... I am not sure but this is how this version was described in the great wartime color film by the Bristol co.

This aircraft is not a Mk IF. MK IF had the short nose and underbelly gun pack. it has the long nose and no gunpack. The aircraft as depicted (P4834) is a Blenheim MkIV Bomber. Its Not a IVF as it doesn't have a gunpack fitted. Nice build though! Selwyn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I'm not quite sure whether the build is outstanding, or just that the superb photography makes it look so! Either way (I know, really both) GREAT job. And now I'm going to have to compare wheels between my CA and Airfix kits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith in the uk Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Lovely job on a pretty hard kit to build ( i have both Classic Airframe kits MK1F & MKIV ) and both got started then stalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
