So posted this in the Group Build section and got no response so i thought i would try here before totally giving up on the Idea.
The idea is to do a Group build for a Pratt & Whitney Engine group build. Only plane’s with a pratt and whitney engine would be excepeted. Just looking for some thoughts on it to see if anyone is interested. Maybe some interest later on down the road when the current GB’s die down a bit.
Your Thoughts???
Thanks,
Thats a good idea but you might get a wider response by opening it up to all radials g/b just my .02
ummm sorry what do you meen radials? like all the companys??? Just had a thought maybe like General Electric VS. Pratt & whitney?
I like the idea, though to be honest i am not sure what aircrfat that would include. But, and i could be wrong here, usually am, but now could be bad timing. I know i can’t join any new GB’s at the moment. maybe list some of the aircrfat that used these engines, see if that attracts attention
Bish: I did think about that and was teatering on the edge of doing so thanks for pushing me over. I will see what i can do tonight.
aircraft with pratt and whitney in it, so that excludes what? theres days P&W have a hand in just about everything. I like the idea of a radials one, or a P&W radials gb though.
Hmmmmm you make a valid point their. lol. We could do a radials gb. Now im guessing that would Prop Jobby’s? Not up on the terminology.
So here is a list of air craft with Pratt & Whitney engines. Lettering in bold is the engine model. I will pick away at a list of Prop engines that pratt produced.

Or, going the other way, we can restrict it more- only build a P&W engine. Williams Bros has a Wasp Jr. engine that is very nice! I wish WB would do more engines- I have built all the ones they have re-released. Would love for someone to do some large scale water-cooled too. We really need a 1/8 scale Allison V1710!
I’m in too many GBs (about 7) at the moment… But trutfully, when I hear “Pratt & Whitney”, all I think of is the R-2800… It was “King of the Round Motors” in WW2 and beyond, lol… They have a sound, when flying by on a P-47 or Corsair at 250 knots, that’s just friggin’ MEAN…
But I’m still partial to that throaty moan of a Packard-Rolls Merlin going by…
Hmmmm maybe i will file this idea away for a later time.
