MPM 1/72 Fokker G.I Mercury


Side view of an unspecified model Mercury engine. The caption says it's a 890 hp Mercury, and a table shows Mercury XI and XII achieving this power rating for 'all-out level flight for 5 minutes'. Thus probably being a XII, its detail could be slightly different than tat of a VIII. The reduction gear casing looks a lot like that of the Fokker G.I, and very different from the Blenheim's as seen in the other pictures. The accessories on the back of the engine looks pretty complex to me. Compare it with the cutaway drawing of the Pegasus.

Scan from a copy of 'Jane's All The World's Aircraft', 1939 issue (if I'm correct)
