Hello,
I tried to work on the propeller but I'm not sure about the result...




Not very satisfied with the result. To be honest, I don't think to have the courage to build another propeller ...
Maybe I'll put the one of the kit

 

[Donivanp]

Nice work coming along nice. I'm not sure on the prop but I do like the scratch built prop.

 

[Wurger]

I echo the post above.

 

[fubar57]

Nice work on the prop regardless. I just noticed in your photo that the wheels were canted out at the bottom. It's the first photo I've seen of this. If this is correct, then Tamiya got it correct and I wasted some time trying to get them more upright and failed

 

[Crimea_River]

The scratch prop doesn't look bad at all. Maybe just the angle of the blades?

Yes Geo, it's correct. The wheels are inclined. You can see the same thing on MS.406... Maybe a "French Tradition" ?

Yes Andy, it's exactly the problem, I failed the angle of the blades

It might be possible to separate them and retry but if the risk is breaking them then it's a tough call.

Maybe a solution in the next week, a resin set of the Ratier propeller. I'm waiting for some news about it
