There were two types of fighter aircraft that were developed in WWI. Low altitude - rotary engineed and High altitude inline stationary types. Taurus Models brings us their 1:48 version of the LeRhône 9J which powered allied fighters like the Nieuport 17, Sopwith Camel F.1 and others. Lets take a look.

Thanks!

This is actually a shot of an 80hp LeRhône but gives you the impression of their weight and the handiwork these motors required.

Hi Stephen
Great review i must get one!
Just one comment, the link to Taurus does not work.

You have to copy & paste it. It is an email only contact. The review transfer box is only good for urls. Also I have the catalog and can send it to any Aeroscale member. Just send me a PM with your email addy. I am not connected with the Taurus Models in any way. I only offer the review and catalog. There are two more reviews in process.

Here is a bit of fun on Le Rhône & Gnome motors in general.

Great Link!
