The original Bristol Blenheim Mk.I was a British twin-engine bomber from World War II, operational from 1937–1943. Blenheims played a significant role during the French campaign and the Battle of Britain.
A distinctive feature of this aircraft were the air intakes mounted between the cylinders of the Bristol Mercury radial engines, which came in various design versions.

The CMK Q48341 set faithfully reproduces these details, offering two different intake styles and a one-piece, much more detailed lower air intake, replacing the simplified part from the base kit. Thanks to resin production, the detail level of humps, holes, and embossings is superb, and the parts fit directly onto the model without any need for additional puttying.
