Andy's 1/48 Blenheim

[The Smythe Meister]

Ok then Guys,
After my Tamiya Beaufighter experience I'm ready to take on one of my favourite RAF planes of WW2...
..not the most successful by ANY means,but I've always had a soft spot for them.
Gentleman I give you the 1/48 Airfix BLENHEIM.......
... rather a large box,and,as you can see, I've also bought the camo and canopy mask sets for it
Next up the sprue type stuff...

...



..So then, that's what we've got,and I must say it looks very nice at a cursory look
As always,if you fancy tagging along and sharing your thoughts then that'd be great... but please keep the abuse at an acceptable level!!
Cheers for now,
Andy

It's that Devon water... makes the beer taste nice, but messes with your head... :smiling5: :smiling5: :smiling5: :smiling5: :smiling5: :smiling5:

... it also puts you off beer, (unless it's a proper ale),and sets you on the righteous Cider path. ...
But you're kinda right... It certainly messes with your head!!

Well Mr. Smiff, I think Chris and Paul have summed up the situation quite well, BUT...........I have taken the liberty to clear up some things and have corrected your opening statement to this build. The corrections are in bold letters............

Ok then Guys,
After Cohan's Tamiya Beaufighter experience, he's ready to take on one of my favourite RAF planes of WW2...
..not the most successful by ANY means,but I've always had a soft spot for them. :smiling3:

Looking forward to the Blenheim, by the way. I saw the reconstruction a few years ago and was very impressed…..

Going to sit in for this one too Andy

That's better Allen,
Andy can now consider himself 'off the hook' so to speak,
However, Matron has been informed just in case of any flashbacks and will be along shortly to check and give him an injection of Olive Drab or the more stronger solution 4BO, which she keeps for special cases that have a slim chance of rescue.

I STILL do Tim..
... after 40 odd years it probably explains a few things!!

[The Smythe Meister]
