jerry campbell | 10-Feb-08 14:15 | Yes, I carved the props using the plastic props as patterns, I'll do better in shaping next time. However, the spinner was made using parts of the kit, however I screwed up the kit supplied parts and had to make new parts, glue them together, sanded to shape, then drilled out holes for the props, again using plastic parts as well as the kit plans as guides. |
Barnstormer | 10-Feb-08 14:36 | Prop and spinner look very good to me. This is the next task I will have to work on for my P-40. |
