Bristol Blenheim

[kitbasher]

The Graham Warner tome, The Bristol Blenheim - A Complete History, is probably the best I can think of. And I distrust any Richard Franks Datafiles as he's short on accuracy and high on pretty pictures. His Mosquito books are riddled with errors.

Said book has the serials listed, including Finland and Canada. Mention of Yugoslav production but no serial numbers.

I just stuck the HiPlanes Beaufighter II wings straight onto the Beaufort.

Me too

That's what I've been toying with, although the Hercules wings onto the Beaufreighter, for something that could carry a heavier load

Merlin Beaufort? I may use some spare Lancaster engines. It's one for the future as this year is still focusing on captured stuff.

At least there's a little bit of Blenheim here:

I think the pic is from 1950, or thereabouts

I toyed with the notion of a Hercules-engined Beaufort ahead of SMW cross-kitting a Matchbox Beaufighter with a FROG Beaufort but would have meant tracking down the necessary kits at reasonable prices.  Wasn't going to shell out on respective Airfix renditions.

Anyway, stepped back from the brink - maybe another time.

I have a High planes Beaufighter with a snapped fuselage - the cockpit module refused to fit - so the wings were kind of spare, and I'd got a cheap Beaufreighter anyway.  Never did get round to it.

Think I have a spare Frogspawn Beaufort fuselage somewhere...

That's really neat ! Love the boots on it !
