Let me know if you are in need of a trumpeter wildcat prop... I have a couple kits - but I'm using a hamilton standard hub and blades on mine so you're welcome to the kit props if you need them... Have a great day, Mike Hi Mike Why thank you very much that's very of you. How are achieving Hamilton hubs and blades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an addition (and hopefully these will help), I have these images scanned from the album of one Erwin Mott Jr. from Bridgeport, CT. We have a display with some of his flight suits from his long career spanning WWII (when he was flying these Wildcats in the Mid-Atlantic) into post war Naval Air Reserve. Enjoy. Thank you very much for the splendid pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been awhile since I bought them - but best as my cruddy memory is - I'm thinking that I bought a set of B-24 props off of ebay... May have to reshape a little bit here and there but nothing major and they look good to me... All my models are built based on warbirds or air racers past and present and I haven't seen any Wildcats flying on the airshow circuit with the type of prop blades provided in any of the kits...

Vince Blackburn Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Keep calm and carry on Although not working this weekend it was busy with family duties much of it being Taxi service for the youngsters. I did however get the new prop painted and decaled once this is dry it will be time for some weathering and oils.
