Azur-FRROM replied and apologised for the mistake. They are looking into it to decide what can be done to correct it.

A resin additional prop will be of the most probable choice, I think. Change of part in mould is difficult. Or they will do an injection spare .

If they will not do it, I think there is a spare Kesterl prop in  A-model Hawker Hector (Napier engine rotates opposite)...The shape of spinner is differen a bit though.

Thank you for taking the trouble to email them, maybe they could provide us with a corrected resin or plastic replacement ?

Let's hope so.

Regards Colin.
