So, whilst I wait for others to join the Hurricane GB, I start the 'fix Blenheim Mk.1, largely OotB with some Airwaves harnesses and SBS resin engines

That looks sweet! The resin engines seem like a nice upgrade - are you planning an open-panel maintenance scenario of some kind?

Hi Thomas, no I'm not. I thought about it though, but as I bought SBS's covers - which don't allow you to pose open- I'm going to stick to them as per instruction sheets, but have another real good go at exhaust staining.

Seems like you had to do a lot of faffing with these resin engines, drilling and adding brass rods and stuff... but they sure ended up nice!

thanks Guy, apart from a few well-documented minor alignment issues with the canopy, this is a great fit'er

@Guy: I've had 4 on the workbench all close to completion and decided to weather them all together once the Hurricane was on finals. @Thomas: thank you, Sir- you have some great works too!
