I've put my Me 109 on the back burner as I get the other aircraft in my Finnish air group to a similarly near completed state (I hope to finish all three at the same time). But putting this model to one side had an unfortunate result - I lost the propeller!
Don't ask me how, I do use a project box for each model but it still went astray. So I had to make a replacement prop spinner, luckily I had couple of spare props in my Minicraft JU-88, though I had to sand the bomber's larger spinner down quite a bit...
I hope my new spinner looks OK. But this is another issue that illustrates the point that I need to get myself set-up with a special place for making my models, and not just a wobbly tray sat on my knee!
It looks perfectly OK. You do know that the prop will turn up, now that it has been replaced, don't you? Just stick it onto a Ju 88 with extra filler :O)
ReplyDeleteKind regards, Chris
LOL - Oh yes! I fully expect the original prop to miraculously turn up the very second I finished painting my replacement one. Probably in a place I had looked for it several times! :)
DeleteI've started sorting out my 'man cave' and and installing anew desk specifically fo modelling - with lots o extra shelves and draws - and hopefully having an organised space just for model making will help prevent this sort of thing happening...Maybe!
Great replacement, well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul. I suspect this will not be the last time I loose a small part. :)
DeleteWell recovered!
