Re: Merlin Models Discussion
Many thanks James for posting the pics.
As you can see, No 64 is not a Breguet XIXB,i think he just rereleased his earlier Breguet 14.

Re: Merlin Models Discussion
Thank you to both of you for posting the pictures , they are good to see . Could you also put up similar quality pictures of the following kits please as I have only ever seen poor ones .
kit no.48 Rolland C11
kit no.86 Joyce Berliner XFJ-1
Vought SB2U Vindicator
Junkers JU 287
Mitsubishi Ki-8
Bristol MC1
Junkers D1
Miles Master 1 , this one I have doubts about , I have seen a picture of a finished kit captioned as a Merlin kit which does not look like the Pegasus kit .

Re: Merlin Models Discussion
Hi Kiwi,
I will go through my collection and take pics. I don`t think the Miles Master is a Merlin kit as you have said.The Vindicator ,Bristol and Mitsubishi are not Merlin kits as far as i know.I have a couple of Junkers,but none are D1.I do have a Rumpler D1.

Re: Merlin Models Discussion
I have a poor picture of the Mitsubishi Ki-8 it appears to be possibly kit no. 102 , the box and its decoration is like that shown for the Rumpler 6B1 . The Vindicator is named as a Merlin kit in a review by Joel Hamm on Modelling Madness.com , as no packaging is shown , not proof positive I realise but it is where I found it . Not sure how I decided the Junkers D1 and Bristol MC1 were Merlin kits save for the fact they both appear to be crude like many Merlin kits of the period , so these may not be Merlin kits . The Rumpler D1 I would also like to see .
Re: Merlin Models Discussion
Okay, now it is time to go digging in the Merlin stash.Just a note, i have never had the urge to build one.

Re: Merlin Models Discussion
Thanks for posting the box tops , I have seen the Vickers FB 5 Gunbus with the same picture printed blue . There is a build article on the Berliner / Joyce XFJ-1 kit by Keith Hudson on the Aircraft Resource Center site .
