Mike According to Wiki, the proposed Mk.IV would have had Wright R-2600's, not P&W R-1830's. The P&W's only produced 1200hp. A bit low for an Albemarle. " The Mk III and Mk IV Albemarles were development projects for testing different powerplants; the former used the Rolls-Royce Merlin III and the latter used the 1,600 hp (1,200 kW) Wright Double Cyclone " Chris 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling that those P&W`s might have been a bit feeble for an Albemarle,... good engines but not quite a pair of Hercules! 5 hours ago, rob85 said: That’s a mighty fine model Tony!

Ed Russell Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Very nice job Tony. Hopefully it will inspire a few others. I don't think I have seen a picture of V8-S but 8Z-A has even rougher stripes. Hopefully someone will invent anti-gravity pellets to stick in the tail. I'd buy one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hi Tony Wow what a stunner, great work fella as usual and you have ended up with a cracking model. The Hurri looks great too, I have just purchased their Hurricane Mk.I in Navy colours and the kit looks lovely. All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
