Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the British twin-engine aircraft Bristol Blenheim Mk.I in 1:72 scale from the Czech manufacturer Kovozavody Prostejov (KP). The kit comes out in the Vintage edition, the range in which KP release older, historic molds with a new decal sheet and packaging. Do not expect modern fine engraving and flawless fit, therefore: it is an honest classic on which the modeler fills the seams and refines the fit personally. The contents of the package are given by the manufacturer on the box.
The Bristol Blenheim Mk.I was a British twin-engine all-metal aircraft of the second half of the 1930s. It came from a fast civil airliner that at the time of its appearance was faster than the RAF fighters of the day, so the Royal Air Force turned it into a modern light bomber. It was powered by two radial engines and had a crew of three; the glazed nose and the dorsal gun turret were characteristic. Fighter development moved on quickly, though, and by the Second World War it was already a machine whose speed was no longer enough, so its use in the first years of the war was extremely hard on its crews. Besides the bomber role, a fighter (night fighter) version also appeared, with a gun pack under the fuselage. Blenheims also served in Finland, where the type was built under license.
Glue the plastic with liquid cement, which draws into the joint by capillary action and closes it from inside. On an older mold it is essential to try the parts dry before gluing; reckon on filling and sanding back the seams on the fuselage, the wing and the engine nacelles. Finish and paint the interior before you close the fuselage up, as the glazed nose and the turret leave it in view. Do not forget ballast in the nose: a twin-engine aircraft easily sits back on its tail, so add the weight before gluing the fuselage together. Use a primer, which will reveal any unrefined seams, and apply the camouflage with an airbrush in thin coats. Mask the glazing carefully, as the Blenheim has a great deal of it.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
