LDO Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Just cockpit and engine pics. The LHS had a builtup for $5.00. I ordered a new decal sheet from Spot Model in Spain. I’m pretty excited 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwc43 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Depends on what version you want. That name goes back to the 60's. They even ran a jet turbine engine in those boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered a new decal sheet from Spot Model in Spain. I’m pretty excited 👍🏻 Don't have any reference pics, but you scored HUGE at $5.... I am jealous! 😁 I built one back in the mid-70's. Unfortunately it was among the 50 or so models that my little brother and his buddies absolutely trashed while I was at work one day.

fiatboy Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Now I know where my 1/24 resin RR Merlin V12, WW2, engine came from. Alan Raab apparently made copies of this engine. At one time I think he had available the Packard WW2 Merlin. Where did that one come from?? Interesting post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This assumes that the stated scale for each is correct. Their old Spitfire may have had a Merlin, also. I believe their new(ish) Spitfire has a Merlin, too. Hmmm I wonder about their 1/24 Mosquito from about ten years ago?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
