Merlin need help

[LeRhone]

Hi I am building the 1/4 scale Merlin from a set of castings I purchased from a guy that did not have the equipment to make it.
I need some help withe the gears in the gear case as some of the plans are missing.

the person that designed and made the castings for that kit is Richard Maheu, if you still need plans I can probably pass on to you his contact info.

Thanks

there's two gears in the propellor reduction gearbox up front,
there's a multitude of gears in the "wheelcase" (Rolls Royce term) in the back,
you probably need to know both, but you should be clear what you're asking for


PS, I highly recommend stripping all the black paint off, IMHO this looks terrible not only on a model but also on engines that are in museums, and the reason/logic behind black paint doesn't apply to models or museum pieces, IMHO, YMMV, VWPBL, yada, yada, yada...

Did you get what you needed yet? I have the castings, plans, and gears etc. for this engine. I'm in the process of building one now.
