A Merlin that never was

[chriswil42]

Just begun this.  I beieve two or three of these were built before the US cancelled the contract. I don't think they ever flew in this livery.

Another one for your fleet - this one looks chunky from the box art - or it could just be my eyes - hohoho

Largely.

Main fuselage halves together with complte cockpit.
Some modifications done to fuselage. As it never flew in this livery, the fuselage will be a mash up of a couple of the prototypes used for the project before it was cancelled.

Nice work in the cockpit Chris.

Just about ready for first coat of primer. Modified aerial fit - again this is a mixture of fittings from the various prototypes that were used for the project.
