Martyn FoxThanks guys, I'm hoping to get some serious modelling time over the Christmas period. As they say best laid plans and everything 🙂

Martyn FoxFew pictures of completed cockpit. Bit of a struggle aligning the resin/etch aftermarket parts into the restricted space but managed to get it all together.

Gordon SørensenCockpit looks great! Can't imagine doing the framing without a mask!

Christian BruerHi Martyn, very nice start on the Blenheim. The cockpit looks very nice and detailed. Looking forward to your progress! By the way, there is a small gap to see between the fuselage and cockpit part - photo 11?! Would you close it?

Martyn FoxThanks guys.Definately need a mask on this one Gordon. Christian, I'll have to fill the gap,it was a bit of a fiddle fitting all the parts with the aftermarket pieces🙂

Roland SachsenhoferHello Martyn, this one looks really great! All the aftermarket parts have been well worth their money! I am looking forward to new pictures- great work!

Alan RushLooks great Martyn. The cockpit turned out very well and looking forward to the exterior finish. 👍

Martyn FoxFew more pictures added,kit is now varnished and ready for decals. It's definitely worth getting the aftermarket parts for the cockpit,as there's quite a lot of cockpit perspex.

Bill DavisLooking very good! I would like to build a Blenheim in Finnish colors to go along with my other 1/72 Finnish fighter aircraft (unbuilt). I hoped to get some model work done over Christmas holidays, but it didn't happen. May be New Years?

Martyn FoxYou should go for it Bill. There seems to be loads of aftermarket sets available,especially decals.Ive actually managed to get a far bit of modelling in,but I tend to be a very slow in my processes.

Martyn FoxThanks Christian. I now looking at my stash for some inspiration as to what to start next although I've got a Tasca Sherman ready for painting.

Martyn FoxThanks guys. John, it was a really well engineered kit by Airfix and a joy to build. The only testing part of the build I found was cockpit Perspex where aftermarket masking is a must.

John BolligThanks , Martyn I was hoping that it would fit well together. I have one in the stash and at least 6 of the old airfix ones. Yeah I guess I will be buying masks for mine as well.
