Here's my latest - the Airfix 1/72 scale Bristol Blenheim Mk.I.

In summary though, what a lovely little model!

This is an all-new kit with nothing at all in common with the 1960s-vintage Mk.IV.

The big glasshouse split down the middle looked a little dangerous at first, but the fit of the canopy parts was very good.

The only less-than-stellar fit areas were the engine nacelles and the closed bomb bay - although Airfix probably expects that most will pose the bay open to display ordnance.

My model was painted with the Testor Aztek A470 airbrush fitted with the fine tan-coloured tip. The upper surface colours are Mr Color's RAF Dark Earth from the three-bottle RAF Colors package; and Gunze-Sangyo RAF Dark Green acrylic.

I really enjoyed building this kit, and a detailed article will appear in Issue 41 of Military Illustrated Modeller magazine.
