Coming along nicely, should look good finished.

Because one or two folk were commenting on the warping of parts in their Blenheim, I waded into the plastic mountain, where I found two lost people and my Blenheim kit. It's one of the latest style box packed by Mod17 P64352 M1020270143634, according to the sticker inside. All still on the sprues, no warping of any kind, fuselage almost flies together. I think if your's are warped that you ask for replacement parts. I can read the news paper through the canopy it is cristal clear.

Mine was the latest re issue and had no warpage issues. Cockpit canopy had a bit of excess flash and needed help from clearfix to plug the gaps.

Update

I've finished off attaching the smaller bits and bobs of the Blenheim. The decals have been applied with a few problems. The RAFDEC decals I am using are superb in registrar and thinness - they contour to the body superbly but have a general lack of sticking to the model. This was not immediately apparent when applying. After 24 hours drying, some of them had dried and fallen off. They have been re applied with a large amount of decal fix and hopefully will stay on long enough for varnishing.

No pics yet as the camera needs new batteries and the sun to come out to give the model some justice.

I lost the landing light housing so I had to rebuild a new one using clearfix over the last two nights.
