Can you post a photo of the prop with measurements? I might have a spare.

Cheers mate. I think you mean Halifax... you must have a Herc in progress too.
I'll check tomorrow, should be able to sort you out for a prop.
This kit goes together rather well I got to try out my new Velocity Jet Renegade AB from Badger me likey!!
It lays a very thin layer of paint though I have not gotten a hairline in the spray yet but do feel 1/32" maybe smaller is highly doable.The main decals have all been laid down now onto a few hours of stencils.I liked the decals they do want to set rather quick so keep the surface well lubricated.The decals feel a bit thick I tried Microsol Red to little effect hit it with Walthers went down well and did not shrivel like crazy.I had to repaint the stripe on the tail three times was to fat the decal had to fit between it and an ares below on the rudder that protrudes out it is not a 16" but a 14" stripe now the rest are 16".

Looking good Kevin. There's a discussion somewhere about Walther's changing formula and it is now nowhere as aggressive as it once was. I've used it a few times with no adverse affects. Did a test drive with a piece of Lifelike decal on the mule and it really pulled the decal into place

Been using Solvaset for decades, have to agree with Geo that it's not nearly as aggressive as it once was. Still the strongest stuff out. Two bottles out for delivery today!
This bottle Geo is about 3 years old if I use it on some thin decals it goes crazy the object though hard sometimes .."do not touch"

Like to get my hands on some of that, used it many years ago, ran out and that was that...
I continue with the MiniArt kit all the stencils have been laid and about to take the wash to the plane methinks?The bombs was something I have been wanting to do for a while ...create the cast iron effect.I had to do this twice seeing I did not make the seams disappear well enough the first go around and the q-tip was not the right tool.I got seams all correct this time I used a foam pad and worked the Mr.Surfacer 1000 onto the bombs.I dipped the sponge into the 1000 started dappling the bomb until the sponge was resisting the effect to pull away(raising the paint).The bombs look about right to scale for 1/48 and think 500 would do well for 1/32.I will fix the antenna/gunbarrel when finished have broken them off several times a better plan by MiniArt would of been nice .
