I'm quite tempted to build something that doesn't have wings for this James With pleasure James. There's certainly a good range of machines powered by V-engines to pick from 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Another one that I can think of, Col. Next to the Hawk III for the Asia GB (radial engine) I would also have a Curtiss P-6E and a P-1/F6C with a V-12 Conquerer engine. Nearly forgot that one: a Curtiss A-8 Shrike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those would make a nice comparison to your Hawk III on how the engine configuration changed the lines of the aircraft's forward fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 This one has lost momentum so I'll try pushing to the fore again and see if that will draw any further interest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 You can go ahead an put me down. Leading contenders at the moment would likely be a Takata Dome NSX (twin turbo V6), Motorcraft Pro Stock Thunderbird (V8), TWR XJ-S (V12), or the real dark horse....a Scania 144 (turbo V8 diesel). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyOD Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Merlins and Griffons were both "engines" right? Which is a licence to build literally any Spitfire or Seafire. Count me in please! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings unlevel Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 You can add me to the list, Col. I’ve just picked up Tamiya’s Dewoitine D.520, whose Hispano-Suiza V12 would be right at home here. Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Add me to the list please. It/they will be something V8 powered and four wheeled. Not sure what, there are quite a few to choose from. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) I am already on in the list but does the Meteor and now that I think of it the Maybach 230 count? Edited July 16, 2023 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin W Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 What a novel idea! Ths should open to every subject since the RAF rescue launches had v12 engines and british tanks used the V12 Meteor engine. Put me down for a 1/24 Revell V12 Jaguar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V engines have always seemed synonymous with F1 as I can't think of any examples that used another configuration. Brabham Alfas used a flat 12 cylinder in the second half of the 1970s, e.g. BT46.

Torbjorn Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I’m building a Sopwith Dolphin right now. How nice it would have been to have a GB to put it in! (sign me up please) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 @Col. Seems like this is one that needs a reset for next years bunfight now. I still think it is a cracking idea for a GB. Steve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 @Torbjorn, @stevehnz, @vppelt68 I suspect this GB proposal failed due to my inattention and while I don't want to flood the future GBs forum with my ideals I'll happily submit a new thread for this one so we can have another go at it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just last weekend I browsed through my modest stash (30 unstarted, 18 stalled/wip and 6 on order) of kits and found a Hasegawa Bf 109G-6/G-14 combo boxing, thinking there will be no GB:s to build those in 2024 (tbh they didn't play any part in Normandy except as targets). Hooray for the V-GB in 2025! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 @Col. as you're my dedicated Seafire expert, I'm hijacking your thread to ask (it's a V-engined plane after all) this question: I have a KP Spitfire Mk.Vc kit and a KP Seafire Ib kit. Mixing them, how close to a correct Seafire IIc do I get? Thanks in advance, V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
