The RR Merlin and Eagle
Don't know where to put this thread but thought you all might enjoy these 2 engines.

http://www.enginehistory.org/merlin_xx.htm

http://www.enginehistory.org/eagle_22.htm

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.

Worth looking through, http://www.enginehistory.org/

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

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