Xtradecal has released a new 1/48 scale decal set for the Bristol Blenheim Mk.I. This will be suitable for the Classic Airframes kits, but I am sure it has been designed with the forthcoming Airfix kit in mind!

The Airfix Blenheim is due for release in November 2018.

 

Xtradecal offers four varied schemes. Details are as follows:

  • K7078 139 Sqn RAF Wyton 1937

  • K7133 44-L 44 Sqn RAF Waddington 1938

  • L1426 RX-M 25 Sqn RAF Northolt 1939

  • L8612 OB-W 45 Sqn Helway, Egypt 1940

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour across one folded double-sided A4 and one double-sided A5 sheets. Both side plus upper and lower views are provided for all four aircraft.

 

 

Three sets of national markings are included.

Colour notes are offered, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

The decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

 

 

This release boasts a nice variety of camouflage and markings for anyone planning to build the forthcoming Airfix Blenheim Mk.I, or if you have an old Classic Airframes kit stashed away.

Thanks to Hannants for the review sample
