Hannants in the UK has had this kit (along with 1/144 Fairey Battle and Hs126) as 'to be released' all this year, but I can't find anything about release dates on the Zvezda website.

Exellent news!! Yeessssssss ! Zvezda know what to do.
I might get a couple if they have the remote controlled turret under the nose.

I found a 1/144 Zveszda Hurricane listed on one German games website last week. That has appeared new. The others are no where to be ssen yet.

Other than coming soon listings i found no other information. Maybe they will show up some day? Zvesda`s home page like you say has nothing on them?

I have built three of the Hurricanes. Basic little kits that paint up nice. The decals were not so great. I finished mine with left over Sweet decals and odds and ends.

When seeing the topic I thought they finally arrived. But no. I'm to waiting for those kits to be released and hoop to see them sooner than later!
I had heard that they were to be issued but I do not know when. My local shop has no idea.
I asked about the JU88 today at Colours.
The chap behind the stall said, he had all the current new releases but did not have the JU88 or the Blenheim, so as far as he was aware, not yet released and did not have a date as to when they would be.
" Hello! Thank you for your interest. Both the Ju-88 and the Bristol Blenheim are scheduled to release some time next year."
(I asked at their FB page)
Remember I make a 1;200 Blenheim Mk.I and Mk.IV .
See, http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sho...light=blenheim
picture of one painted.
Apparently according to plastic soldier company these will be available from 19th of jan .
That is good news!
Oh, nicely done. Just in time for the Med campaign.
See you on the Dark Side......
The Plastic Soldier Company is selling the New Zvezda 1/200th British Blenheim light bomber in their webstore for Ł2.99 or a 3 box flight deal for Ł7.50.

Probably not available in the U.S. as of yet.
Advertised on Ebay by Model hobbies for Ł5.09 inc p+p, that's in the UK of cause
The Plastic Soldier Company are doing a special offer, 3 kits Ł7.50 (plus Ł0.75 P&P). I bought 3 kits and they arrived yesterday. Although the cover picture shows the under-nose rearward firing barbette there does not seem to be a part in the actual kit to represent one.
PSC had loads at Cavalier today - I expect Gunners cleared them out though...?!!

I got mine from Plastic Soldier in the post over the weekend, look to be nice basic little kits. Does anyone know which base and flight deck I should use?
Thanks

Ive had these up on my album page for a while now.
Tha stats are a bit tentative which is why I`ve not uploaded them to the files section.

In this case the J* deck is the WWII J Deck without the Dive-Bomb cards.
Excellent, thanks very much. Can't wait to get them painted up now!
I would have thought that the XB deck used by the B-25 Mitchell would be more appropriate. The Blenheim IV had approximately the same maximum speed.
The Blenheim is small enough to use the Heavy fighter base, so a bomber deck would be too slow.
The J deck looks good, if you remove the 45 degree turn, the fast side slip and the reversal.
It might be maneuverable enough to keep the 45 degree turn; borderline.

I have been flying my Blenhiems on an I deck in complete ignorance.

Oi, pack it in you two . I only bought two because a) I already have a load of AIM Mk Is & Mk IVs, and b) because I had already gone through about 200 squids (that's 309.2 crawdads to you Karl) on Afghan mud huts, mosques and technicals, all of which I comprehensively failed to get past Checkpoint Charlie when I got home

I am with Karl. I used the j deck on the Fulmar last August and it worked. A standard fighter base is good also.

Sorry to hear that Steve, shoving it down the trousers like the penguins in the Great Escape didn't work out then ! I just got 3 buildings from the Colonial Steamboat company via family for m'birthday to put with my home made efforts - Just put them all to use in another Force on Force game today !
