MPM 1/72 Fokker G.I Mercury


The same Mercury VIII engine in a Blenheim I as shown in the previous picture, again showing great detail. The baffles can be clearly seen; they also completely hide the ignition wires in a front view. The neatly engineered cover over the valve gear is also visible. The exhaust tubes can be seen to run forward into a circular collector pipe.
