[N4521U]

I yam sticking the prickely bits on, both.
Then I noticed the prop blades on this one................ WT?
I compared this Hasegawa ass'y with the more friendly Tamiya???
They were all over the places. This and that angle from the hub.
Another WT? So I have gingerly removed the blades from the hub.
I will make a sketch with 120 angles to underlay and reset the blades.
I was going to drill out the hub, insert a piece of PVC, drill and insert the blades.
Not a good idea to eyeball the drilling...................... pfffft.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Not so good.
