Thank you, that's exactly what I'm looking forThey start life as steel and quickly get stained by heat and exhaust residues. A modern example after only a few flights:View attachment 687565
AbsolutelyIs this place not amazing?

Now those stencils are very cool!!!! Wonder if you can get similar items in 1/48? Excellent work Pete, I wish I had the skill to be able to build and detail as subassemblies and still have it look realistic once assembled (sighs...).Final few stencils going on, now I can start putting it all together
Thanks Man, I think I would struggle with 1/48 scale stencils and I'm sure if you build this kit from Tamiya your sub assemblys would be as good as mine because it's mainly down to Tamiyas skill at kit designNow those stencils are very cool!!!!

I'm afraid I know very little about how the propeller blades would look on a well used in service aircraft but I'm sure someone here maybe able to help
Fantastic picture thanks, of note is the yellow worn to black and all the way down to the aluminium,,, let's see if I can do that realisticallyWatching your skills with an air brush is impressive. Prop wear and tear was fairly generic and although this is a P-40, the wear patterns would be similar on the Mossie. Note the indiscriminate nature of chipping on the yellow tip and blades inboard of the leading edge, on which of course, the paint would be worn down to natural metal, but note how speckly it is, like little impacts rather than a smooth wear pattern. The prop is unrestored, not just mocked up, either - this is a worn propeller.
