Blohm's Mach Three Blitz

Post by BlohmWolf »

Hello everyone! I thought I might post some pictures of my blitzbau subject, ready for February.

(Phone camera needs adjustment)

The ACE boxing of the revell 1/288 SR-71 Blackbird. Only cost me 5.60 from the bay, plus free postage.


The complicated parts and instructions! :shock:

The shocking instructions in close detail....(That is really it!)

Now, I just need a suitable clock to sit beside me.

Now that is a kit I never heard of before. Good luck.

Not seen that before either, odd scale.
Do you think you'll be able to follow the instructions?? :ha:

I've never seen this kit either but it looks like classic Blitz fodder. A small parts count, all one colour and a only a few decals. You can't go wrong with this one Blohm. Maybe :grin:

Looks like it shouldn't take too long to build.

Thanks for all the comments!

I might put this build for tomorrow, as today I'm working on my Twin-Prop subject.

Tomorrow and with time difference I assume you'll be starting many hours before me. But it's good to have company when blitzing. :)
I'm planning on starting 10 am my time.

I guess it would be almost 10:56 AM when I would be posting this. Interesting time zones.


Also, I forgot to mention: This is my first ever Blitz!

Now I have some time off, I will blitz this kit tomorrow. I can imagine it taking less then 30 minutes.
