TheFlogger Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 G'day Gentlemen! I am currently building a 1:48 Tamiya Mosquito. I purchased An Extradecal sheet and intended to build SEAC one (HR399) in Dark earth-dark green clothes. I have 2 issues to be solved. 1- What sort propellers used that bird? Wide or narrow one? ( forgive me for my ignorance I am sure they have proper brand names; rotol, curtiss etc) 2- Has HR399 carried with strips under wings? I will be pleased if some may enlight me. Best wishes from Turkey. The Flogger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just having a quick look at this and the change of prop happen around mid way in the HR production block which went from 113 to 649 so HR399 is very close to the middle of that block. I believe that some earlier airframes were also retro fitted with the paddle blade props so without an appropriate pictures it might be best guess time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbolt Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I've just found this video of an aircraft fairly close to 399, HR339 and it looks like it has the paddle blade props. So without any other evidence I would go with that for 399. https://www.facebook.com/NZMosquito/videos/989905001200419/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooksta V2.0 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Can't anything re props but I will say that it'll need the longer tropical filters for the engines. I'm unaware of anyone doing them in 48th - not my scale - but cut down and reworked Hurricane Vokes filters may do the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon did, but long OOP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
