Fixed the camoflauge, then my printer ran out of ink. Notice my solution for strengthening the tail feathers.
Tail feathers attached Quick break to calculate scale. 17.5 inch wingspan means a scale of 1:38 Parts to the Bristol Mercury Both engines Port nacelle attached |

I'm calling it done (I don't add landing gear or props so I can hang them vertically on my wall)
I'll put it up in a couple hours after my website provider finishes their server maintenance. Always a term to cause chills. I did get the B&W version up before they pulled the plug. |

Blenheim Mk IV nose does look "funky" on pictures and drawings but when I looked at real one being restored in CWH it does make a lot of sense and it's very functional.It's also VERY small and cramped work space.Guys working there say it's not that bad if you are young and spend some time in Blenheim.

I found these 2 pictures, which should help me figure out the shape.
Research says the weird notched nose was put on to give the navigator more room, but not interfere with the pilot's forward visibility. |

Did they put them on floats? Dumb question, I think they put everything on floats back then.

Which brings up my usual question: was there anything they didn't put on floats back then?
