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 p*****c rod for the engine mount, and copper wire, aluminum rod, and aluminum tube for the hoses, lines, and piping. The engine stand is basswood. The builder's plate came from Alin's site. The whole thing sits on a 5x7-inch base. The Spitfire profile is by Croatian artist Vjekoslav Ranec.
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

That is very pretty work David! Must really look cool in person at that scale. (it isn't hard to build in 1/33 you just have alot of parts left over)

Here are two more photos, of the top of the engine and of the firewall/mount assembly before the prime mover was installed.
Thank you all for your compliments!:D --David
