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.

I used some aftermarket decals back in 1970, they were not easy to find back then.

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

...and this is my vote!

Dude...this is awesome.

I 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.

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