Hi, I was wondering if any after market manufacturers produced an engine and bay for the Tamiya MkVI FB kit. Dargies has a comprehensive build on his website, but its not clear how he made the s'board engine bay.

any ideas or advice would be most welcome.

TIA

You could rob the engines from a couple of ICM Spitfires. They can be built without the engines (and actually fit together better without them) leaving you with a couple of Merlins for your Mossie.

here ya go...

Thanks guys. The engines aren't a problem as a few manufacturers produe them. It is the engine compartments themselves that are proving problematic. It is unclear from the link provided above if the CMK conversion includes the ehe engine compartment.

Not the correct type of Merlin for a Mosquito FB VI I'm afraid. The Merlins in a Mk IX Spitfire are two-speed, two-stage and longer than the two-speed, single stage Merlins in a FB VI. When they fitted two-stage Merlins to the Mosquito a new design of engine nacelle was necessary.
