I do not envy you having to do the front end on this beast, look forward to your next progress report, but in the meantime, enjoy the Jubilee Celebrations.

Looking good Greg.

Nice clean lines

great start, looks good

Gnomey · Jun 4, 2022

Nicely done so far!

Jock Tamson · Jun 5, 2022

Thanks folks for your comments and encouragement.

Got a bit more done and I have a Blenheim shape now. The nose glazing was fiddly but manageable I won't be sure how good the joint is until I get some paint on it.

Fit of the completed nose to fuselage was not so good but I'm putting that down to me. There's a bit of filling required as you will see in the photos.

Anyway onwards and upwards thanks for looking, cheers Greg

Bit of work there

Vic Balshaw · Jun 5, 2022

That canopy looks like a bit of a bu**er, I wish you luck with it, otherwise it all looks tickety-boo.

Gnomey · Jun 8, 2022

Good work so far!

Wayne Little · Jun 9, 2022

Doing good...!

Jock Tamson · Jun 9, 2022

Thanks folks Moving on to the engines next, then start painting

Soooo, sorry for the lack of progress on this one. I have been trying to rekindle my youngest son interest in modelling so have been building a Airfix Short Stirling with him. It's finished now and I have returned to the Blenheim.

The engine assembly is a fiddly affair but as you will see from the photos I'm getting there.

I have been enjoying watching everyone else's progress in the GB, which has inspired me to get going again with this one.

Cheers and thanks for looking

Nice bit of progress but your right, you have to look after the young ones first.

With Vic.

And all above... Great work Greg
From my side, it's a waste of time: my 14 year old son has never been interested in scale models
if one of yours is interested in it, it's already a big victory

Hi and thanks for the kind comments. I tried getting all my kids in to models when they were younger and out of the three of them Conor has shown most interest. Part of that has to do with the Battlefield video game. We have finished 5 kits so far and he has even bought one with his own money!

Cheers Greg
