OttoVonSkidmark Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 This is my first post, so please be kind👍 I have been trying to source a resin p-51 a prop. I see quickboost and airies do the 4 blade later props, but no luck with a 3 blade Allison! thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Try looking for an Allison-engined P-40 prop. Same thing to all intents and purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoVonSkidmark Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Thanks for the quick response. I did think of that but I also need the spinner. For some reason my academy kit was sans spinner. I should have said that to start with but the resin parts come with the spinner. The P-40 has a pointier spinner, so would it be straightforward to fashion it. I’ve never worked with resin. Thanks again 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Honestly, I would just get a length of birch dowel, chuck it in an electric drill and sand it down to shape. If you're looking for something to make a template out of, to check the fit, there's a usable drawing here - just photocopy it down to 1/72 http://www.mediafire.com/file/mqe2kdyb2bacdd8/North-American-P-51A-Mustang-II-Scale-Model-Aircraft-Plans-Drawings.zip Edited May 23, 2019 by Work In Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
