I haven't seen a Blenheim Mk1 kit since the old Frog one of the 1960s. There is a 1/48th scale kit available, from Classic Airframes I think.
I'll scan the cutaway and send to you as soon as I get sorted.

That would be great. I'd like both the Mk1 and Mk4 if you have it. Thanks

Only got the MkIV, but the MkI was the same - just missing the navigator's section up front !!

Nice Pressies you got there Karl!

Posted the cutaway in the 'Blenheim Colours' thread for now Dirk.

Got all my crap for the Me-109 from Sprue Brothers and Micro Sol and Set......what do I use? A cotton swab?

RLM 02, 04, 65,70,71

Aeromaster decals.

Use a small (not 000 size, probably a #3) paint brush, and follow the instructions on the bottle to the letter.
Do NOT touch the decal when it starts to wrinkle, probably after 30 minutes or more. Let it settle and dry, preferably overnight (or equivalent time), then, if any air bubbles etc, take the necessary action. Do NOT be tempted to try to correct things when the decal is setting, apart from maybe sliding it into place if it has moved whilst positioning.

Boy will I be glade when I get my ADDHD under control or at the very least get a job that's not within driving distance of my lunch hour. This is getting expensive. I picked these up this afternoon. Again its an ultra secret project.

I was hoping to start this tonight but instead I'll be headed to the Jet Car Nationals and Monster Truck Meltdown over at raceway park.

Go ahead and do it Karl!

This came in the mail today. I seem to be on a Spitfire kick lately. I've got another on the way and one I think I'll order tonight. I also saw a Revell Mk.II at Hobby Lobby today but wasn't sure what kind of a model it is. Does anyone know? specifically if the panel lines are raised or recessed.

 

[B-17engineer]

Very cool Glenn!

 

[dirkpitt289]

Kewl, pickup Glenn

Nice buys Dirk and Glenn.
the ICM Spit kits are very nice indeed, if a little tricky, due to their design. Patience and care, and a great model can be had.
Not sure on the panel lines on the Revell MkII,

Nice fellas...8)

I saw a review on the Revell Mk II Spitfire an it looks like an old kit with raised panel lines so I won't be getting that one, but on the brighter side this arrived today all the way from Korea. Academy Spitfire Mk. XIVc. At this rate I'll need a dedicated shelf Spits!
