Don't know where to put this thread but thought you all might enjoy these 2 engines.

The engineering and workmanship that went into creating these are outstanding(understatement). It is said that the Merlin took over 6000 hrs.

Both are 1/5 scale.

1/5th scale reproductions, eh? Hmm, interesting. Extremely well done, too!

Will they run as well?

Nonskimmer · Feb 16, 2005

I'm guessing they probably do. Any more info, KK?

The Merlin has been run and there is a short clip of it doing so.

The scale Eagle model is only able to run on meths unfortunately. Well last time I heard, which was a few years ago now.
