brilliant job Geo

 

[Airframes]

Very nicely done George!
Just noticed the prop. Sorry if I missed it in the build, but is this the kit prop? Being the HS prop, it's different to the original (Curtiss) prop in the older issue of the kit I have. Just wondering if they've up-dated or changed some areas of the kit.

 

[fubar57]

Thank you kindly gentlemen. Terry, the propeller is, I believe from a Monogram kit. It wasn't correct for the scheme I built so it was just a matter of swapping them. I don't know why, but I have a habit of not gluing propeller to finished models.

Thanks George. Pity there aren't after market props for the P-47, as I'll probably need both the Curtiss (as in the 3 razorback kits I have) and the Hamilton Standard. Looks like I'll have to try to modify kit parts.

 

[fubar57]

Terry, Ultracast has the Hamilton Standard for 10.95$CDN. Ultracast And I thought I saw a Curtis somewhere.

EDIT: Found some KMC Curtis props on Ebay, quite pricey but maybe you can find some cheaper elsewheres.

Thanks for the links George. I might need one HS prop, so if I can't modify a Curtiss example from the kit(s), I now know where to look.

Great result on the Thunderboltb Geo, well done. Both the Tamiya and Hasegawa have alternative props. TheTamiya comes with three different types, so if you want one type in particular, just shout.

I can help or someone else is bound to have one in the spares.

Cheers
