I’ve been working on this one for a couple of weeks and thought I’d share some build photos. It’s going to be finished as a 27 Squadron plane in Malaya, December, 1941. This is a really nice kit and I’m looking forward to finishing it and building the forthcoming bomber version as well. It’s on hold for a couple weeks because I’m waiting on “O” rings for my Paasche Talon to be delivered and I’m going to be away from my spray booth for a couple weeks anyways.

Looking great, John.
Have seen a Blenheim in action last year and it's a beauty to see.

John, that is a very nice build. Looks like the base kit is great as well. Thanks for sharing @j-healy, and fingers crossed that santa will soon be on his way with the O-rings!

Lot of masking, that mask set must have been very helpful.
Good luck on the painting, John. @j-healy
Looking forward to the result.

Oh yeah, this is looking good John. Real good.
Interested in your final conclusion when you finish this kit.

Bottom colors applied. I referenced a very long and informative, but confusing and inconclusive thread about these planes over at Britmodeller. The thread includes a color Time/Life photo of a 27 Squadron machine, and black/white pics from a Japanese magazine of the plane I’m modeling. The bottom was black and some sort of sky blue, not Sky. I used Humbrol black and Xtracolor RLM 65 as a close match. Green/dark earth next...

Nice progress here, John.
Looking forward to the top side.

Tom, it’s worth checking out the Britmodeller thread. PTF is serialled L8618 with a fighter band on the rear fuselage. This is the one I’m building. Classic Airframes and Printscale both have this plane serialled L1134. PT was 27 Squadrons code. Airfix represented Scarf’s plane as L1134/FXF in their 1/72 kit. FX was 62 Squadron’s code. Nobody knows for sure obviously, but it’s an interesting read.
