Sorry peeps, been building away with other projects and forgot to add the development of this thread and my Blenheim mk IV, so here are some dev shots i took but didnt get round to upping them to PB.

I must say the AF Blenheim hit was awful, bad jonts, lots of flashes, perspex not matching up with the fuselage and the fuselage not meeting up at all in some instances. So plenty of filling and filing to make her presentable.

Ive made a bit of a boo boo, i thought i had some 30" Z grey letters but i used them for Hurri R4118 so im trying to source some. If anyone does have 2 no Z letters please let me know, so i can finish her off.

Ae the Z's you need medium Sea Grey? I can give you one if they are, what size do you need?

Ive been given a couple from a colleague so will scale them up to the AC and hopefully finish her tonight with finalised photo.

Thanks for the offers guys and if they are too big/small ill get in touch with yourselves. MSG 30" are required.

The Blenheim looks rather good in black.

So here she is, special thanks to Ian for sending so swiftly the missing Z letters so she could be completed.

Took the opportunity to photo her outside today as it wasnt raining (at all) ;).

Overall im happy but i wont be making one again anytime soon without inspecting the mould first, she was a pig.

Hope you all enjoy her as she is different and this exact scheme was used on the Blenheim Societies Blenheim a few years ago now ;(.
