Bristol built over 50,000 sleeve-valved Hercules engines during WWII and in the post-war period. This set represents the wartime VI-XVIII series with forward exhaust leading to a collector ring. The engines are designed to be used in a cowl and no rear detail is included.

Suitable for
Avro Lancaster II
Bristol Beaufighter I, VI, XX, 21HP Halifax III
Short Stirling I, II, IV, V
Vickers Wellington III

Some adjustment may be needed to match the exhaust length and overall diameter to a specific kit cowl. We recommend using a slow set epoxy glue to assemble the exhaust. This will allow fine adjustment of the position.

The set includes two engines in polyurethane resin and the diameter is 16.5 mm.
