I leave the small details to the 1/72 scale staff at the 1/72 scale Blackburn factory

I am going to build a small section of flight deck with a lift partially down (or up). Just to make sure I had the folded size right I cut out 2 pieces of cereal packet one to a scale 45 x 22ft for the lift and the other with a gap a scale 14 ft high for the hangar ceiling.

The propeller is a scale 12ft in diameter which I think is a bit big, I have no idea what aircraft it belongs to. I might need to crop the tips.

A 12ft prop?! So now you need to make gull wings to raise the nose.

I think I should crop the propeller blades back to a scale diameter of 10' 6". I need to remove 3.175mm from each blade, where's me nippers.
