I was very close to throw this kit in to basket, because of imossibility to make airframe. Clear parts of canopy was broken because too tight fit, and overall imperfections of kit. With an almost superhuman modeling effort, I have brought the project to this stage and the amount of sweat, tears, anger, putty and CA glue is indescribable. It's the first time I'll say it. I do not recommend the mk.I version! the set in the mk.IV version seems to be more well-thought-out, and the absurd idea of dividing the glazed nose into three elements that have to be connected together and squeezed into the too tight fuselage is wrong. I found few photos that show Blenheim with few pieces of canopy blanked - that rescue my project because I can glue canopy in directly that places that was broken and hide under primer and paint. I have also real problems to glue front section to the rest of fuselage. A lot of putty and CA glue was used. Few photos that ilustrated my work:
