I’m building a 1/4 scale Spitfire, Mick Reeves design.
I recon the plane will be ready in 9-12 months due to great deal of time spent in the stable as my daughter is an equestrian and competes in show jumping.

The reason why I’m joining this forum is a want to build a suitable engine to match my Spitfire, so what engine could be better and more suitable then the 1/4 scale Rolls-Royce Merlin…?!? Well, the question is really not a question is it. 😁

So now I trying to gather as much information as possible about making parts for the engine engine as well as trying to obtain a set of casted engine parts as well as blueprints to start with.


Regarding the machinist part I’m somewhat of a beginner.
But then again…how hard can it be…? 😊
Well, when I browse som of the treads about the Rolls-Royce Merlin, I would say pretty hard, but I don’t mind as I have time to learn.
Luckily my brother on the other hand is quit skillful, which will be of some help and benefit.

Kind regards

Welcome Peter, glad to have you here.
Almost anything can be achieved with the right amount of time and effort (in my opinion).

Sounds like a very interesting project.
