29(F) Sqn RAF from BE2c to Typhoon - TeeELLs tribute.

A very nice collection Tony. I'm surprised however that you've not build a Phantom yet?

Lol! Me too. It isn’t as if I’ve not got both a Fujimi and Airfix to choose from.

Will this do as my ‘place-holder’ Stuart?

It looks very… proportionate?

The ‘turret’ Demon was replaced by the Bristol Blenheim on 29(F) Sqn during December 1938. The Blenheim was used as a ‘heavy fighter’ supplementing its single wing mounted Browning with an under fuselage pack of 4.
This is the Airfix ‘disaster’ (NT Mk 1) finished to represent L8372 YB*L of 29(F) Sqn as photographed on 8th/9th July 1939 whilst participating in a ‘Home Defence’ exercise at RAF Debden. Within 6 weeks the Sqn would replace their Blenheims with Hurricanes and just another 6 weeks after that, would receive Blenheims once more.

This is not an especially great representation, the kit is a ‘difficult build’.

Love the Phantom, Tony!
And the others, of course
Grand project!

Thanks BB, certainly far from my best work!

Thanks X12A. I’ve 2 more Blenheim builds - another Mk 1NF from after the start of the war and a Mk IV.
