And love your three bladed prop, Mr. C. What are you going to paint the spinner and blades? Do they remain the same color in your example?

Matt: If you look back on page 3, post # 40 of this thread, you will see
where I cut down a stock three bladed prop to make this one. Adding
the spinner was a chore, but you see the results. From what I understand,
the prop and spinner of the Stuka was schwartzgrun, which is the darker
of the camo colors. I thought about adding a circle or a spiral, but I think
I'll leave well enough alone. Maybe Wayne or Wojtek has a better idea.

If your happy Charles, then don't mess with it......

The early stuka's didnt have a spiral, many had their staffel colour on the front third (approx.) of tip or a band on the rear third or half of the spinner, generally.
 
I agree with Wayne.One of the Murphy's rules says tha if you want to correct the just finished thing it is better to start the thing from begining.
I think the model looks good.
 
I put the dive flaps, the canopy and the antenna mast on last night. Gotta
paint the antenna mast then string the antenna. Dive brakes are next. Pic's
tonight...

Hi Guys.... Minor set-back last night, while working on the Stuka, I broke two
of the dive flaps. Had to remake one, then re-paint it and re-mount both.
Anyhow, all that's left now it to do the registration, and figure out how to
make a "T6 + AB". And, the antenna wire was nice and tight, last night. I
guess the canopy "gave" a little.
