fastzx Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Glen, I had been looking for the same engine for a while for my xf104. I was mostly interested in the aft end for the conversion. There are a few of the front on the web. I did run across some photos but they ARE hard to come by. Google was of help. Buick manufactured that engine a licensed copy of the siddley sapphire if I am not mistaken. I will check and see if I bookmarked the site http://airandspace.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?object=nasm_A19760757002 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Allison_J33%2C_Wright_J65%2C_Rolls-Royce_Olympus_Keski-Suomen_ilmailumuseo.JPG/1024px-Allison_J33%2C_Wright_J65%2C_Rolls-Royce_Olympus_Keski-Suomen_ilmailumuseo.JPG Edited October 13, 2014 by fastzx KAGNEW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 J-65 was indeed a licence built version of the Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire - there's one up at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry, UK.My son and I regularly visit - so if you want some images of the engine they have there I'd be happy to oblige.Not sure what, if any, differences there are with J-65 though - I think some changes were made to the casings? This is the Sapphire: Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 A simple Google search for j65 turned up a host of images (including some anoraks). It seems they were all very similar except for some kind of adaptor collar for the relevant aircraft inlet. Bristol Siddeley, now Rolls Royce, is just up the road from me. If I can get help from the Heritage Centre with the Hercules radial for a Beaufighter book I may ask about the Sapphire. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAGNEW Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 most Google pictures are copy writed or to small for my old eyes to get the detail i want. thank you guys for all the help. to Fast ZX like i said this engine goes into 3 future 1/32 Kitty Hawk kits. some with burners, some without . also looking for pix of R-1300 radial engine for another 1/32 kit that will be coming in 2015 if all works out. should be about 10 new 1/32 kits from us, from now to end of 2015 .
