Since Dumas kits are lacking in scale details, I added engine outline, 4 blade prop, rockets, cockpit instruments, etc. |

I plan on painting this one blue with a light blue bottom.Here it is with the propeller and rubber motor installed. I haven't glued anything yet. |

So I added a few extra stringers and ribs. I took two of the 6" stock kit propellers, cut them down, crossed lapped to a hub made from the end of a ball point pen cap. I just need to paint it black and I'll have a scale looking prop for the Dumas F4U Corsair. |
