Makes sense to me, but I'm the king of Siam.

As said, it locked up before I could finish and looked like it was starting to rip. I can live with it

Mine is the same! And I have a different model (the Erla G-10). It's Eduard's problem.

What is annoying is that I have three other propellers on the sprue tree and they are fine

No one except you is going to notice the decal George. How did the sink holes go on the props?

Yep, they are on the old sprue, since they started making the G-variants. Eduard just adds it in every G-box, no matter what you build. The specific sprues (G-10, G-14AS, G-6/AS) are the new ones and they are "defective" so to say.

Last bit of mud added. These holes were deep and the mud sucked into them so hopefully this will do

Aircraft decals are done. Spinner decal to do. I might do that one underwater as every other decal has given me about a 10 second working time. I'm wondering if its the decal glue

​

Speaking of propellers, I notice what looks like weathering on the tip (A) and perhaps RLM76 over-spray at the base (2)

Propeller done. I'll check tomorrow and see if anything shrank and give it a final sanding. Paint will be Tamiya XF-27 Black Green. Also gave the spinner a final coat of Nato Black. Gloss coat tomorrow and attempt the spiral when I get home from PG tomorrow night

IMHO it is not overspraying of the RLM76 but the light trick mainly. In all pics of the kite it can be noticed that the prop and the spinner are clean and there is a lack of a such applying. The two parts look like being dusted by the pollen and the dust from the meadow and its dry grass . Please pay your attention that the effect can be noticed at the blade , let's say , the top one only. In the another pic of her taken from the port side of the kite the effect is less noticed The same effect can be found in the image of the Bf 109G "White 44". And just on the "top blade" only.




and here is the next shot of the White 43. Notice how the sunlight affects the prop blades.
