I built Alin Osarik's Merlin engine in 1/16.5 scale. I think I have about 80 hours in it, maybe more. Not a beginner's project but very rewarding. A few minor fit problems but overall an outstanding kit. I used plastic rod for the engine mount, and copper wire, aluminum rod, and aluminum tube for the hoses, lines, and piping. You'll find photos and more info at http://sakrisonwings.blogspot.com/.
I'm still in awe of anyone who could build this kit in 1/33 scale! Thank you, Alin, for a wonderful kit. I want to tackle your Daimler- Benz 601 (in 1/16th scale) one of these days, but not too soon. And I'm still thinking about enlarging the Halinski Spitfire cockpit to sit behind the Merlin. And the GPM Bismarck beckons. (Now there's a nice, easy 2-year project! ) Still crazy after all these years, --David --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
