The difference is in the details....wonderful!

So, those gear legs are cast from the inside of the vacuum formed kit parts? Is that right? Is that what the kit instructions tell you to do, or is this another Duckettism? :) They looks great!

This is compliments of mattolson and his Corsair and Spitfire. They are cast from the inside and are much more precise than the plastic piece which is the mold. I take no credit for this one but I'm glad I found it here.

This looks great. I'm glad the castings are working well for you. I just never got really good results with the included plastic, especially 2 part pieces. I tried Milliput and other epoxies before I found the Micro Mark material, which is much easier to sand and shape.

Based on your reply here is sounds like you use the plastic part from the kit as the mold?

Please disregard, I should have read the replies above more carefully before posting.

David and all, please excuse the dumb questions from a beginner, but when you mount the prop on a static model is it stationary or moveable. Guillow makes no mention of it in the 400 series Warhawk.

I almost always make the props stationary. John O makes his spin but then, he's an engineer. If I can get them glued on straight, I'm satisfied.
