Revell 1:72 CR42 Falco
Here is the problem, one blade missing. I built this Revell kit in 1970.
I found a leftover prop blade from another kit that was close in size and sanded the blade to match.
Then drill a hole to match a piece of piano wire and glue it in.
Cut the wire to a shorter length.
Drill a hole in the prop hub.
Attach the blade and a little silver paint!
I used some aftermarket decals back in 1970, they were not easy to find back then.
It's a great looking little fighter.
An early attempt at mottling for me.
Back she goes into my new display case, good as new!

Lochsa RiverPersonally...i think Tim and Scalemates should have a "Thread of the Year" favorites contest...

Norm SheppardI have been building models since 1960, and enjoy every minute of it. Thank you for your kind words, they make me feel very good! And I am glad I was able to save many of my old aircraft models.

Album info
A kit that I built 50 years ago lost a blade in storage so I repaired it.
