Hi Erich,

where do they live? I used to work and live in Rheinland-Pfalz, in Boppard, near Koblenz 10 years ago...

Thanks Terry. Like I said this project has been half-a**ed since I started (also have a hellcat and a Hs 129 half completed) and when I read that about the prop I was beside myself. The decals I have are fine, just getting little things correct.

Heres a crazy question: Anybody know how much larger the prop was?

I think this one is fitted with the wooden propeller....

That confirms something. If you can get a 1/48th Typhoon 3 blade prop, it will look very like the one in the model photo Lucky posted. I'll see if I can scale out those Mossie paddle blades, to check if they could be trimmed and sanded to that shape and let you know tomorrow. If you were doing it in 1/32nd, I've got just the prop that would do the job, in the spares box!

go to the 1st page the red 23 by Sundin is what you want.

Roman they still live at Grünstadt in the northern section: ace, Heinz Baer was born right off the main road at Ungstein to the south of Grünstadt. our old home and I mean that sucker is old is up in the hills to the west of Bad Dürkheim at Höningen. My closet relatives still live in the old village and the cemetary is full of my loved ones with the old Deutsche Schrift on the rock gravestones. the others are in Neuss in the Ruhr and in the Saarland.

yee haw ! E ~

Hi, Mate. Here's the pic of the Mosquito 'paddle' blade. As I mentioned in my PM, I think you'll see that you should be able to get the right profile from the measurements I quoted.
Terry.
