The Phantom Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Blenheim IV / Bolingbroke 1/32 kit update 2 Some news I know you are waiting first photos from the kit but if everything would work from the first time, it would be too easy... First parts for the kit received were not meeting quality requirements and were discarded. New parts are now produced. Photos will follow as soon I can. Even is the 75 orders goal is not reached the kit will be produced, with more parts 3d printed (SLA resin) Project schedule revised- You will be asked if you want to confirm your order or to be refunded end of September when the first kit will be completed and ready. If there is an additional delay, you will have the possibility to opt out and to be refunded too. Documentation- I need your feedback: I plan to include a DVD with documents relative to the Blenheim and building instructions. Do you prefer this media and to print what you need or the traditional booklet already printed ? Feel free to send me your questions / suggestions, Best regards, Benoit de Mulder - Avialogs & AviaReplica Blenheimboys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo.b Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I replied to Benoit's email stating that I preferred a printed manual though I understand that a cd would be a cost saver as hph do. I also confirmed that I am in no matter how long production takes as I feel that this is a project worth supporting Blenheimboys, wunwinglow and Alburymodeler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Lots of newer computers don't even come with a DVD/CD drive anymore. ... good point ... had to buy an external one for the Mac ... Maybe a thumb drive? Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artful69 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Good man Rog, you won't regret it!! Max I have a thing for bombers, Max ... Can't help it! ... The Blenheim, though a bit of a flying coffin, was produced in significant enough numbers for it to warrant a kit, I think ... And I really want to encourage these guys (newcomers and cottage industries are welcome!) ... even if the thing turns out to be, er ... not so nice ... they can keep the $60 for R&D ... Now ... if HKM will look at a Wellington Mk.III (and God forbid, the Do.17z that NO-one else will look at!) I'll really be impressed.

mozart Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Yep, I'm a bomber man too Rog. Whilst I love their lines and everything they stand for, fighters like the Spitfire, Bf109, Fw190, Mustang etc don't interest me model-wise (though I am doing two Hurricanes soon). The Lancaster's on its way, a Wellington would be good but what I'd really, really love would be a Stirling! Ha, some chance!

SimonCornes Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Wonder what the order total stands at now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Wonder what the order total stands at now? As of today ... 42 units ordered and part paid. http://www.aviareplica.com As soon as it tipped the halfway point ... I thought I'd better get my order in. I'd expect it will rise in tempo significantly one casting photos start hitting the web - and I didn't want to miss out! Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yeah, get your orders in while you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm certainly glad I stumped up my cash! I can't wait for this kit...and hopefully a Mk I will follow if all goes well. Having a blonde moment though. Do I have to register with the site though, or can I just sit back and wait. I'm under the impression that I have to do something else as part of the process.. Told ya I was having a blonde moment! Regards; Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 You should have received an email from Benoit regarding having access the the Avialogs library site at the time you paid. Artful69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
