Airfix Blenheim I / IV

I know these are probably already arcing around the web, but I took a few photos of their new tooling Blenheim I/IV at the Shropshire Model Show this year.

The clear bits are thin.
Most of the bits are there on the sprues for multiple variants.  If one buys 3-4 kits (2 each I and IV) you’ll probably have all you need for 4 different variants. 
It appears that both open and closed cooling flaps for the engines are possible, but I may just be interpreting the sprues wrong. 
I popped this one to a larger view to show the details of the scribing.  Essentially, it’s better with each release; Airfix are certainly listening to us modelers who care about scribing depth and width.  My photography skills don’t do it justice, but I have to say it’s very fine.

I only have a desire for 1 of each of the Blenheim’s in store; I’ll certainly use these kits for my display.

Thanks for looking…
