I wonder if the box art, is depicting 'bring your child to work day', because the bomb aimer looks tiny 😆😆 Got to agree though, these old Airfix/Matchbox/Nova boxes are so joyous & stir happy carefree memories 🤗
I agree about these old kits there is just something about the boxes! If you do build it, it has one major error with the upper wings. The engine nacels go to far back and pointed. They should be shorter and rounded. They would need cutting back and re-shaping.
Thank you for the comment, to be honest if I did build it it would be an out the box build with no corrections or improvements. A more of a trip down memory lane type build. The new Airfix Blenheims would be a better option for going to town on with the detailing.
remember building this one with Free French markings in my youth , from the days when Airfix were mighty

@pmmodelsuk4012 Yep perfectly understandable Cheers Matt 👍
Gob bless Roy Cross...
With you 100% on the importance of box art. Without an inspiring front cover, it would be like drinking Dom Perignon from a cracked coffee mug.
I do hope the canopy parts fit.😂. It has a reputation for poor fit.
