Merlin






Here are some images of Trumpeter's 1/24 scale Rolls Royce Merlin 45 engine. If I had to choose one of the great engines of all time the Merlin would definitely make it on the short list. This engine in my opinion practically won the war for England and her allied nations including Canada supplying power for such aircraft as the Spitfire, Lancaster, Beaufighter, P 40, Mosquito, Fairy Battle, Halifax,Hurricane, Mustang, etc. The list is almost endless. Could you imagine having a Car with one of these engines powering it?
