Gazzas Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I don't know if this is a colorized pic or not...but the propeller blades have some interesting variations. Gaz Cheetah11, Bill Cross, thierry laurent and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 It has been colorized. No doubt when you enlarge it. Nonetheless, this does not prevent the propeller variations to be noticeable. Interesting! Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B. Andrus Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Has the look of weathered hand-waxing of the blade. I have a photo somewhere(?) of an enlisted man waxing a prop. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a photo somewhere(?) of an enlisted man waxing a prop. I think I've seen the pic you're talking about. I thought he was just washing it. Maybe the pic I saw was on the Marc Andre Haldimann site. Anyway...had no idea that anyone waxed them. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I think that, depending upon operating conditions, propellers can get to be just as skanky looking as other air-frame parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe back then, they used Revell's sometimes rather flat decals, and the guy now tries to smooth them before continuing with the wash to pronounce the panel lines Isar 30/07, Jan_G, SCRATCH BUILDER and 6 others 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
