Summary

The Blenheim Mk. IV played a vital role for the Royal Air Force during the Battle of London. This is a relatively accurate replica model of the plane, using original diagrams. Some small liberties have been taken (for example, with the wheel carriage) for the purposes of 3D printing.

The wheels of the model are retractable using a print-in-place hinge. The propellers should turn freely, as do both gun turrets.

Notes:

To print the complete model, you'll need to print the following parts: - 1x Fuselage - 1x Fuselage (Mirrored) - 1x Engine - 1x Engine (Mirrored) - 1x Gun Pod - 1x Front Gun - 2x Gear - 2x Axle - 2x Wheel

Post-Printing

After printing all parts, I used super glue to put them all together.

The gun pod should fit in between the two halves of the airplane itself, and likewise with the front gun.

The propeller blades should simply snap into the holes inside of the engines.

Push the gear into the square slot on the bottom of the engines and afix with glue. Do the same for the axles, which go into the slot in the gear. Finally push the wheels between the prongs of the axle piece. The entire engine assembly then snaps onto the wing, and can be glued in place.

Be careful not to glue the guns to the fuselage; I just used a liberal amount of super glue in a scribble pattern between the two halves of the airplane, especially near the edges and avoiding the parts near the gun pods.

To finish, tie a small piece of string between the pole on the top of the fuselage and glue to the end of the tail with a bit of super glue.

Paint to taste.
