New Airfix Bristol Blenheim Mk.IF in 1/48thScale

https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/news/workbench/exclusive-2018-new-tooling-announcement/

Dammit!

Yep...just saw this one. It's been right at the top of my MOST WANTED list for quite some time. Looks like they've fixed the "Bolingbroke nacelle" problem evident on the 1/72 kit, which is great news. Also like the gun turret detail and what appears to be a separate part for the gunner's hatch, allowing it to be posed open to see all the lovely detail inside.

Purists will want to replace the radar antennas with something more to scale. I've also just dropped a note to Airfix asking about the gun blast protection plate that's visible on a number of MkI fighters but not visible in any of the CAD images. However, this looks GREAT! Roll on 2018!!!!!

Looking good. The 3D rendition is really great.

That does look nice

Just been looking at it in the Airfix newsletter blog. Very, very welcome - and what did I say about "No more kits" ? B*gger !!
Wonder if it will be followed by a 'long nose' version eventually ?

That would be brilliant

 

[Airframes]

No it wouldn't, cos then I'd have to buy two more kits !!
But at least I could then complete my BoB collection, and my 2 Group collection ................... when I eventually get around to building them all, that is !

later version Blenheim for me...
But this new release should be a best seller for them....

 

[Airframes]

Very definitely !
Every time I've 'watched' both versions of the 'Classic Airframes' kit on e-bay, they always sell for silly money - an average of £50 upwards, with numerous bids on each.
Although I'm trying to avoid buying more kits (yeah, right, like trying to give up smoking !), I'll be getting this one, and I'd really like to see Airfix release some 1/48th scale versions of their recent 1/72nd scale kits, ikncluding the forthcoming Mitchell, and some of the 'ground support' vehicles etc.

Thanks pal. You watch for that, I'll watch for your Buccaneer!

 

[buffnut453]

And the Beaufort...and the Battle....and the Scimitar etc etc etc.

 

[Airframes]

A 1/48th scale Beaufort was announced, some time ago, as a 'future release', by Special Hobby, but no sign of it yet.
I'd like to see Airfix, in particular, release one, and also a 1/48th Hunter, Swift, Halifax, Stirling, Lancaster, Argosy, Andover, and, and, and ................

 

[Wayne Little]

Bring 'em all on it will drive Terry crazy.....

 

[Airframes]

Anyone paid, or thinking of paying, between £50 and £65 (depending on the spec of the kit) for the Special Hobby 1/32nd scale Hawker Tempest Mk.V kit ?
Yes ?
Well. now you can get a complete, fully detailed Sabre engine for it, in resin and PE, from CMK - if you're willing to pay a further £86 or so (£79 at Model Hobbies) !!!

 

[Wurger]

I think Terry, , a couple of guys may be willing to spend the money

 

[Airframes]

Oh, I'm sure they'll sell well. But for that price, I'd want the oil and coolant too !!

 

[Wurger]

It would be great if they could clean the windshield too.
