1/48 Tamiya Fw190D9


Recommended Posts

That's a lovely Dora!

 

In fact, a lovely Dora with one major and one minor propeller problem

 

1) The prop blades are mounted the wrong way round.

 

The leading edge should be the trailing edge (= the bulbous side should be forward and the flat side pointing back)

2) As can be clearly seen on the bottom picture (of the guy holding a broken blade), the blade is made of wood and so the wear on the model blades should not indicate steel.

 

Compare the edge wear on the six o'clock blade in this walkaround from the U.S. A.F. Museum in Dayton:

Beautiful modelling and a slightly shaky research. 😉

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim
