1/72 MPM Blenheim

[stillp]

Well, my Blenheim is finished. A few problems along the way, but not too bad for a kit originally from Frog in 1969, then moulded in Russia in the 90s. It's finished as one of the first ones delivered by Bristol to the Finnish Air Force.

Of course the canopy collected the sanding dust...

In the photos above, you'll notice that the MG is missing for the turret. That's because when I tried to fit it after removing the turret masking, it fell into the turret and from there into the fuselage, and wouldn't come out. After taking it outside for the photos, I brought it back in, and the MG just fell out, so here it is:

Thanks for watching

Nice one Peter .

Hi Peter
Well that is what I'd call a success. Given the age of the kit and it's problems you have certainly done well with it. Glad you found the machine gun

A 1960's kit, not many would be so brave, great result Peter.

Thanks Colin, but b-r-a-v-e is not the way to spell 'stupid'.

Excellent job pete , proof that you dont have to have the latest , most expensive , aftermarket festooned superkit to get a good result, good old fashioned modelling never goes out of fashion . Cheers tony

 

[stillp]

Peter, I was catching up on your build earlier, and despite the various hurdles you faced, this is a great result. Superb build.
