This pic may be helpful. Although a Hurricane, it shows the stagger needed to allow the feed chutes to miss each other. A .303 round is 3 inches long. Based on that, the gap between feed chutes looks to be maybe an inch so I would say a 4.5 to 5 inch stagger would be about right so 2.5 mm in 1/48 scale. The flash cone on a .303 Browning is about 5.75 inches long.

Well, I'm calling this one done! I want to thank everyone who participated in this tread, thank you!
It took a bit longer to take some pics, due to a small distraction (see my Ta-152 tread)
I still need to take care of the radar antenna's, but I have to figure out what the best way is on how to scratch build them + I'm getting conflicting info on which radar type this particular blenheim had.
But here is the result;
So, I'm glad it's done. Not the easiest model by far, but I'm happy how it turned out and to have another one cleared from the "shelf of doom"
Another first for me regarding;
- An overall black/night finish
- A first with the "hairspray method"
- And the first Classic Airframes kit build by me.
I think CA's Blenheim is a good kit, the details are marvelous, though I hope that the upcomming 1/48th scale Airfix Blenheim will be easier to build then this one...
I'll post some pics as soon as I got the radar antenna done and installed. But for now, it's Ta-152 fest!
Thanks for watching and 'till next time!

Thanks all for the nice comments! 
If it wasn't for your support and information provided during this build, I guess I never would got it across the finnish line as this seamed to be one of those kits that kept dragging on. Though it was a huge learning curve for me.
I'm really happy that it's of the bench, So on to the next build!
