GB46 - 1/48th Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV - WW2 Eastern front / Twin Engine aircraft and gliders.

Yep. Later in the war, the Danish Resistance helped downed aircrew to escape, via sea, from Jutland. Note that this, the larger, 'mainland' part of Denmark, is some way from the capital, Copenhagen, which is to the south and east, on the island of Zeeland . Escapes were also handled here, often departing from the quay at the Carlsberg brewery, by small boat to Sweden.

Good stuff Terry, and cheers (to Andy aswell) for the offer of photos. I may take yas up on that shortly!

Great yet sad story. Looking forward to the build

 

[Airframes]

Thanks chaps.
Just been going over the kit parts, comparing to my references, to plan the build. Got some fiddling and thought before building the interior, as the scratch-built areas will need to be placed fairly accurately, due to the way the parts go together, especially the clear nose halves.

Sounds like you'll be some extra special super duper Terry magic on this one.

 

[Airframes]

Not really Andy, just correcting a couple of areas, and a bit of added detail here and there.

 

[Crimea_River]

Not worth watching then.

 

[Airframes]

Nope, nothing to see here, move along please !

 

[Wayne Little]

Oh....I was hoping for something too....!

 

[Airframes]

Well, OK then, maybe a bit of detail .................

 

[nsmekanik]

Nope, nothing to see here, move along please !

That's a bit of a teaser, like a *restricted adult* rating, there really is nothing to see but you wanna look anyway just because you're not supposed to.........

sorry I couldn't find my hat

Well, over two months into this GB, and I haven't done a thing yet, mainly due to the ongoing pain and stiffness in my hands and wrists, because of lack of treatment and medication, as a result of the Covid situation. That, and a disrupted sleep pattern, has really b*lloxed things, as far a modelling goes !
I'll try to at least make a start, when or if things improve, but I'll be away for a week or so, from July 14th, so might not get much done.
If it looks like I won't get much progress before the end of the GB, then I'll transfer the build into the "Start to Finish" threads - sorry chaps.

 

[Crimea_River]

I was wondering what was going on. Hope things improve soon Terry.

 

[fubar57]

With Andy

 

[Airframes]

Thanks chaps.
Bl**dy sick of this, and want to get going on the model.

 

[Wayne Little]

Hear ya Terry, hope you can get there in the end....

 

[nsmekanik]

keeping my pinkies crossed that things improve for you real soon.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks , I'm hoping so.

 

[Crimea_River]

Maybe a snifter of cognac then?
