## Description

From the manufacturer Airfix About Us Airfix is home to a team of people who work tirelessly; be it researching potential products, designing your favourite models, building and rebuilding to ensure perfection, writing blogs to keep company in the quiet, laughing along with on social media, supporting on the forums or solving the problems on the phone. Airfix 1:72 Scale Bristol Blenheim MkIV Fighter Model Kit Ordered straight from the drawing board in 1935 the Bristol Type 142, later called the Blenheim was, for its time, a very advanced aircraft but by the outbreak of the Second World War it had been overtaken by fighter development. Seeing service across all the major fronts of the Second World War, the Blenheim was used extensively by the RAF as both a light bomber and fighter before being phased out of service in 1943, replaced by more modern types less vulnerable to enemy fighters.

Review: Highly Recommended - The de Havilland Mosquito is truly an RAF legend and surely one of the best-looking twin-engine designs of its era. Arguably, it was the world’s first true multirole combat aircraft, serving successfully in several different roles during WWII. This Airfix 1/72 offering is the light bomber version, the B Mk.XVI. First released in 2021, this kit is typical of Airfix offerings over the last few years which are uniformly of a very high standard and this kit is no exception. Some real thought has gone into the design of this model and how it all goes together. For instance, the main undercarriage units are assembled using the inside of the wings as a ‘jig’, meaning the landing gear can be put together and painted before finally being glued into the respective nacelles towards the end of the build. And it’s really clever how the cockpit and bomb bay are constructed as one complete sub-assembly, fitting precisely within the fuselage halves. The fit of all the parts was exceptional and only a few dabs of plastic putty was used whilst constructing my model. Detail on this kit is excellent for a 1/72 model and transparent parts are all crystal-clear and well fitting. Decals are manufactured by Cartograf, meaning they’re pretty much as good as it gets; all went down with minimum setting-solution and practically no bubbles or silvering. The instructions are comprehensive, with no obvious errors. Additionally, the kit offers some nice options – you can choose to make a day bomber or night bomber, undercarriage up or down, and bomb bay doors open or closed. In fact, the detail in the bomb bay is outstanding, with a view of the internal fuselage fuel tanks, and four 500lb bombs on their racks. So, any gripes? Well, the pilot figure… I personally don’t like crew figures in my builds. But if it’s your thing, firstly, there’s only one figure and this Mosquito was definitely a 2-crew aircraft! And secondly, the size of the figure. At 1/72 scale, it’s just about as straight forwards as it gets; a guy who stands around 6ft would be 1 inch. The pilot provided looks like he’d be less than 5ft tall, clearly under-scale! This is odd, because it’s obvious that Airfix have been meticulous in getting the aeroplane detail spot on and getting this wrong just seems lazy. In conclusion, crew figures notwithstanding, this is a truly excellent model. You can build this straight out of the box and get a decent result. One day, all model kits will be designed and manufactured like this! Highly recommended.
Review: Nice model - The Boulton & Paul Defiant is one of the most underrated aircraft of WW2. Although popular press would have the world believe that the Spitfire won the Battle of Britain single handed, the Hurricane was the real work-horse of that battle, and this strange little aircraft also performed reasonably well. It's built and looks like a fighter, so in the early days confused German pilots attacked from behind - a common area as it is unprotected. Of course, with this one they got a nasty surprise. Unfortunately the weight of the turret slowed this aircraft a fair amount and it better performed against the bombers. Later moved from daylight sorties to night fighter the Defiant performed fairly well. Allowing of course that this is in the days before radar and accurate detection. Night flying was a very dangerous affair. Airfix have done well representing this ugly duckling aircraft and the moulding is fairly clean and nicely detailed. Assembly is relatively easy with a little cleaning up prior to gluing. Interior detailing is minimal and the crew provided are not clearly molded, so a little creativity is needed here. However, as the model is quite small that's not really so much of a surprise. This is another under-represented model and it's nice that Airfix recognised the value of this plane and made a kit for it. Even better, that they did a pretty nice job of the kit as well. There are some small and fiddly bits in this model, so adult supervision is needed if this is bought for a young relative. Worth the money in my opinion, and a good job by Airfix.
