1:72 Bristol Blenheim Mk.I trop air intakes

Quickboost tropical air intakes for the Bristol Blenheim Mk.I (1:72)

Cast resin tropical air intakes from Quickboost for a plastic model of the British Bristol Blenheim Mk.I light bomber in 1:72 scale. The accessory matches the version for service in dusty and hot conditions.

The real subject

The Bristol Blenheim was a British twin-engine light bomber with Bristol Mercury radial engines. Machines used in the tropics were given modified air intakes, usually with dust filters added.

Building tips

First wash the parts to remove any mold release residue, separate the casting blocks carefully and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate), since plastic cement has no effect on resin. Sand resin with respiratory protection.

Who it is for

• For modelers who want truer detail in place of the kit plastic part.
• For builders with experience of small resin parts.
• As a quick improvement to a particular model.

This is a resin accessory, not an aircraft model. The kit itself and glue are not included in the package.
