@fxrob Not bad. Canopy was in one piece without breaking. After that fact I think it could be better do cut off two side reinforcments of main ckear parts.
PS. I made preshadeing.

That shading looks yummy! Now comes the fun part, @lis 🙂

You must have done something wrong in the basic assembly, because I built two of these and did not experience any of the problems you have listed. It's not hard to do something unnoticed that affects everything after (have done so too many times), with modern CAD kits and their close tolerances.

Preshading looks great, my friend @lis!

Great preshading, Bernard @lis

@tcinla You may have right but if on YT there is only one turorial with Airfix

Blenheim Mk.I it looks like not a lot of modelers try to build it and show ot. For example Mark IV has a lot of internet presentation.

Sorry this model is giving you problems, Bernard (@lis). I have this kit in my stash, so I will need to take notes on what you do.
Spiros Pendedekas said 1 month, 3 weeks ago:

Nice diorama stuff, my friend @lis!
John vd Biggelaar said 1 month, 3 weeks ago:

Nice additions for a diorama, Bernard @lis

@gblair I think it is worth to cut out reinforcments that are connected with oval waist Windows, on both sides of nose. You should avoid too much strains in clear parts.

@johnb

PS. Small bits.

I have also aftermarket brass Vickers K MGs. This kit is worth to use this goods?

Solid progress, my friend @lis!
Yes, why not using the aftermarket Vickers?
capt. R said 1 month, 3 weeks ago:

So I use aftermarket Vickers.

Good advice, Bernard (@lis). I have broken my share of clear plastic, so less strain is better.

Capt. R, you've done a good job of showing your super powers in recovering what could have been a lost cause. However, it would appear you've done a good job of making this kit look interesting again. Looking forward to more posts.

@stephen-w-towle thank You for Your support. I need to make sth easier next 🙂

@gblair I hope Your build will be luckiest than my 🙂
