1/8 Scale Allison Dummy Engine

[Rich Jones]

Where can I get a kit or a good representation of the engine that the U-3 team runs now? I have a plan sheet of an Allison that Roger Newton Drew but it doesn't seem to be the same. I know there are some cast ones out there. There's a photo of the Vacationland.com on Phil Thomas' site that is just what I'm looking for.

Harry Gerhart got one from Troy but i think he had to make the turbos....Mike

Larry Kraemer out of WA has an Allison and Turbo Allison for $50.00.

I've never asked anybody who made their engines because I didn't have a need but sometime next year I'll be in the market for a RR Merlin.

Anybody have an opinion on who makes the most realistic and cost?

 

[Don Ferrette]

Glenn I think Troy does the Merlin also.

I have a copy of his 1/8 scale accessories....very reasonably pricing. Would you happen to have a pic of his engines assembled?

Also does anybody have a pic of McIntire's and pricing?

Nice detail on his engines.

Yes I have both Merlin and Allison kits. Mine are complete you don't need to make your own turbo's. I love it when rumors start.

Email me at [email protected] for more info and pics. I tried to add them but had trouble posting them.

Thanks Troy

Here's the link to Troy's merlin & allison kits shown both as parts & assembled-

And a quote from Troy-

"Here are pics of kits and finished engines. The finished Merlin has oval stacks but I have traditional round stacks also. And the Allison can be finished with either rearward or forward facing exhaust when assembling. Thanks Troy"

Hi All

My engine did come from Troy and It did have the turbos with it. the good thing i like about it is that it FLOATS when it gets knocked off

I love the rumors too Tory LOL

See ya Harry G

Check with Henry Velasco of Velasco hulls I think he just came out with a line of scale engines and drivers. The detail is extremely good. http://www.namba19.com/advert/velascohulls.html

Does anyone know if just the exhaust headers are available from anyone? I need them for this cowl.. thanks Tony J

 

[Mike Stewart]

Henry Velasco has just the headers in a couple of styles.

 

[Russell Bear]

Troy McIntire also sells them for both shapes that were used.

You mean like these-

 

[Jay Stone]

I had a set of those for my 8255 hull that I purchased from Larry Kraemer.

Don - are you going to build up that T-Plus? I am looking for a scale project myself - not sure what to go with..

Yup. I've always liked to look of the T-Plus. I'm in the hunt for pics of a particular version of the 2 wing as we speak- https://www.intlwaters.com/gallery/displayimage...album=376&pos=0

I'm going to do the one that has the full length straight turbine tube & high mount rear horizontal. B)
