    Post Merlin Engine & Hurricane airplane

    Hi, I would like to hear from anyone with an interest in the Merlin engine or the Hawker Hurricane as I am trying to cast and build a 1/5th scale working model of the engine, and plan on building a true scale model of the airframe someday (if I can find enough airframe details/drawings).

    Presumably you know about the guy in England who did it (built a model of the Merlin). It was written up in a back issue of Model Engineer magazine.

    Now, THAT is an ambitious project! Good luck!!!

    Evan:

    UK Model Engineers are able to produce outstanding workmanship in a very short time (awesome stuff too) with less tools and more imagination. It can be done in a short period of time - Q.E.D.! But certainly not by me...
