Not sure whether to continue with the complex conversion of the 1/32nd scale Mosquito to a FB.VI, or start on a 1/48th scale Lancaster which will be part of a largish diorama for which I need space that I doubt I have (!), or do the Italeri Stirling, to replace the Airfix kit currently being done for a commission diorama for a museum. That's if, of course, I can get my hands and wrists to bl**dy well work !
And I still haven't finished the Spitfire (or the two F-104s), or started on the Typhoon for the second entry in the current GB !!!

As sitting this one out, i might start one of my modern subjects, really want to do my Flanker but the F-14 is tempting as well !
No subjects Karl?
Nope, all daytime stuff, will see what i buy over xmas and might jump in a bit later in january !
Looking at getting ICM's new Do 17z and Ju88 A-5 but also want a Beaufighter for Bob Brahams mount, so you never know

Quick question...this aircraft...de Havilland or Rotol front end...?
...pretty sure I'm going to have to get a de Havilland prop. If so, I can order one from Quickboost. Much obliged for the info.

I might have a couple of those from my airfix kits Geo.
Let me look tomorrow and will post a pic of what i have !
Had alook online at kit contents and they dont have those, but got a load of spares at home, will look tomorrow !
Edit.
Looked at contents of my airfix Mk Vb kit and it has the prop and spinner from you picture !
You want 'em Geo ?

If that's W3848, and I'm fairly sure it is, then yes, it's a De Havilland prop.
At first, I thought it was the earlier, 'blunt' spinner Rotol, as fitted to the MkII (not to be confused with the later, broad-chord Rotol with longer, 'pointed' spinner), but then I remembered a photo in the 'Mushroom' Spitfire MkV book, showing the same aircraft from the front, with the DH prop.

Thanks Karl. I do have a de Havilland prop in my Airfix Mk,I/II kit I can rob but it will need to be replaced as the 57OTU aircraft I want to build will require one as well. Quickboost has a nice set designed for Tamiya.
