When the Bristol Blenheim Mk.I entered RAF service in 1937, it was a revelation. Almost 100 mph faster than its biplane predecessor, it was the most capable light bomber in the world and a symbol of a modernising air force. However, the rapid pace of aviation development meant that by the outbreak of the Second World War, the lightly armed Blenheim was tragically vulnerable to the Luftwaffe's advanced fighter aircraft.

This 1/48 scale model kit from Airfix pays tribute to the Blenheim and its heroic crews who flew dangerous missions during the early months of the war. With 216 parts, the larger scale allows for a high level of detail, capturing the sleek lines of this significant aircraft. This kit provides a rewarding building experience for modellers looking to add an important piece of Royal Air Force history to their collection.
