"Red Kite" are proud to announce the first in a new series of books aimed directly at modellers and artists. The "Modeller's Photographic Archive" series is essentially a 96 page A4 landscape photo book format using the very best original wartime images from various private collections. The landscape format allows the publishers to reproduce images as much as 60cm across (24") when on a double page spread, a huge increase compared to standard A4 portrait publications. Also included are a 'walkaround' section, notes on camouflage and markings, squadron details and then a profile section where 13 different aircraft are profiled with accompanying photos. Using only wartime photos, this series of books will prove invaluable to historians, modellers and artists alike, providing the clearest window yet on each aircraft type. Part one of the "Modeller's Photographic Archive" series covers the Bristol "Blenheim" Mk. I and Mk. II. There have been many publications on the Blenheim over the years but most concentrate on the Mk. IV long nosed version. This is the first book devoted to the Mk. I and the authors have managed to discover some wonderfully crystal clear photos from the archives to illustrate this unsung hero of the RAF.
Also included are a section of walkaround photos, notes on paint schemes and markings, staff details and a section containing 13 colour aircraft profiles with accompanying photos. Only historical photographs from the wartime period are shown, which will be an invaluable source of information for modellers, aircraft enthusiasts and aviation historians as they provide a detailed view of the aircraft. This first volume in the "Modeller's photographic Archive" series focuses on the Bristol "Blenheim" Mk. I and Mk. II. There have been many publications on the "Blenheim", but most concentrate on the long-nosed Mk. IV. This is the first work dedicated to the Mk. I and II.
