Apparently this 1/48th Blenheim is exclusive to Hannants:

Wow that Blenheim would be a nice addition...it's one of those aeroplanes I've always wanted to build and have sitting on a shelf. Not sure why, just something about it !

I always like the look of the short-nosed ones. I know the later nose was better in every practical respect, but aethetically, the "chisel" nose gets it every time.

[PR19_Kit]

The prototype Mk IV had a 'chisel nose' on the longer forward fuselage and looked loads better than the ugly stepped version to my mind. Apparently the pilot's view was dire though, thus the change in the windscreen position.

Some scope for Whiffing one of those though, specially with the new Airfix 1/72 kit.

Absolutely  Definitely gives it a 30's look in my view

Hasn't Classic Airframes gone out of business or stopped production or something?

Yes, Jules Bringuier put CA in indefinite suspension during the 'Great Recession', evidently
David Hannant contracted with Jules for a run of the Blenheims.

I wish Hannants would pick up the AEW3 project, however far it got, and finish it off!

[KiwiZac]

They still have that Blenheim, it's especially tempting for me as it looks like it has the markings of the flying example in the box.

[Captain Canada]

That big Gannett would be a real treat to build. Off to Google a review.....
