blackbetty Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 first, i adressed the prop blades. i know there are Harolds wonderful resin replacements, but funds are tight at the moment, so i will do some old-fashionned scratchbuilding a pic of the real thing on the left, scaled to 1:32 the trumpy blades are too skinny so i made a strategic cut down the middle and inserted a sheet wedge some putty and after some sanding, primer and black, voilá Lee White, allthumbs, tomv87 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 ...and some ordnance (more to come). these parts are from the ZM weapons set and the F-80 kit. still searching for a single seamed tank from a mustang or P-47 kit to use as a napalm container (pretty please) stay tuned...

Thunda Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Great job on the prop- I just dont have the courage to cut into parts like that in case I screw it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 well the part is unusable as is (at least for me ), so the worst that can happen is that you do have to order the resin replacements Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
