This might be of interest: https://www.ima-usa.com/products/original-japanese-wwii-mitsubishi-a6m-zero-propeller-named-usn-bring-back?variant=19400221032517 "This propeller is solid aluminum construction and is approximately 54 inches long and 10.5 inches at its widest point. One point of note is that the reverse side of the prop is painted brown. James Lansdale, a noted authority on Japanese WW2 aircraft color and markings, has started that "mid 1943 Mitsubishi started painting factory propellers brown. Prior to that, Mitsubishi painted the reverse side of the props only, and that color was brown, not black."

I have this kit in my stash, looking forward to this.

No propeller. REJECTED!

Thanks again to Gewher 43, and Merry Xmas to all.

Good point, I definitely wouldn't give anyone over there my cc info.

The goal is 2 million rubles and they are less that 60,000 rubles away. The film is almost certainly going to get made.

Based on this company's previous effort, I think we can expect more than that. Check it out:

Merry Christmas to all.

It appears the Yak-1 is scratch built, while the Messerschmitt is the Trumpeter 1/24 109 G-2. The film is a crowd sourced labor of love. More info can be found here: https://litvyakfilm.ru/ If you use google you should see an option to translate the page.

When the video starts, click on the settings icon(the one w/"HD"). Pick subtitles, then auto-translate, then choose the language you want.

A film about the exploits of Soviet fighter ace Lydia Litvyak using LSP's instead of CGI? Ok, I'm intrigued...

Count me in for the raffle, and I will donate a Special Hobby "Onward to Berlin" Yak-3.
