A recently completed Rolls-Royce Merlin version in a modified Spitfire Mk.IX engine bearer

The Packard V-1650-7 is an American built version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, it's most notable application being to power the mighty North American P-51 aircraft into battle. A wonder of engineering immortalized in aviation history, this liquid-cooled V12 has become synonymous with power, speed, and a pioneering era of aviation development that led to ultimate victory over the Axis powers.

​

As part of the UK-based restoration to flight of Spitfire AA810, we have helped create a beautiful 1/4 scale desk model of this famous engine to help support the work on the Great Escape Spitfire. This new creation is 3D printed as a kit in completely sustainable plant-based resin, before being hand-painted and hand-assembled prior to mounting and dispatch to you as a finished product.

 

Strictly limited to 225 produced units, these engines will be built to order with a 6 week lead time into the USA, 8 weeks into Australasia. The first 50 orders who place a full deposit will receive a free 1/4 scale Hamilton Standard P-51 propeller modelled from a full-size unit flown here in the UK.​

​

Each engine includes:

​

  • P-51 Exhaust stacks

  • Modified P51 engine mount desk stand

  • Support booklet on the V-1650-7 engine development and the restoration of Spitfire AA810
