Merlin Models

They call them "Merlin" models because you have to be a wizard to build one!

Is that the same Merlin models that were around in the seventies, I believe they were out of Ireland then?

The same. They started out as Veeday, morphed into Merlin, Spun off into Valhala, then mercifully passed on.

The only good thing about them was they spun off Pegasus, another limited run firm with much better quality. Blue Max is another line from Pegasus containing their 1/48 scale kits.

I went to their website, and i couldn't find any Merlin or TSR-2s. They don't seem to have an email- Can anyone help me out here? I would like two or three. This is no joke.

Combat's not as bad as Merlin. I'll build a Combat kit, but won't ever touch another Merlin!

I talked at length to Vagn, the man behind Merlin, at the Nationals in Columbus in '97. He was a fun gent who regaled me with tales of the hillbillies in his town. I'd thought hillbillies were an American deal until I remembered the Kink's tune "Muswell hillbillies." Anyway, he had a bunch of his kits built up on the table and they looked decent. He's still got stuff in his line that nobody else kitted. It's a better starting point than the block of balsa you got back in the forties. Cheers,
