Historical background of the Bristol Blenheim Mk.I model

The Bristol Blenheim Mk.I was a British light bomber primarily used by the Royal Air Force at the beginning of World War II (1937–1943). This aircraft took part in combat operations during the French campaign, the Battle of Britain, as well as reconnaissance and diversionary missions over Europe. The Mk.I version was characterized by a glazed nose, a two-person crew, and a range suited for fast bombing strikes and reconnaissance missions.

Product evaluation

Eduard FE1187 Blenheim Mk.I AIRFIX 1/48 is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modellers who wish to enhance the realism and level of detail of their model. The set provides a professional finish, but due to the delicacy and size of its parts, it is recommended for modelers with at least basic experience with photo-etched assembly. I rate the assembly difficulty at 3/5.

Enrich your Airfix Blenheim Mk.I model with unique historical and technical details and enjoy a truly realistic finish with the Eduard FE1187 set!
