Correct. But I still believe that the shape of Kit's blades is wrong and cheats. Personally I am against of any heavy chipping to the propellers of Luftwaffe aircraft. Especially if we are gonna build a leader's (or ace) aircraft. They were mad with the situation of their aircraft and they do not leave their birds much to be spoiled. They wanted everything neat and clean. A Heavy weathering on them, would be more effective and real.

Ah!!! good at least we have one that see's things the way I see them...yes Alex when you look at the kit props they are to paddle, infact thats why when you saw the first pic's of the model prop you tought that they should be the wooden type...(Now Alex do you see colour through black and white photo's...... just jokeing this is something between me and Ray...

Alex, I did not understand jour comment on the chipping, because in one sentence you said that as aces (especially) "were mad with the situation of their aircraft and they do not leave their birds much to be spoiled. They wanted everything neat and clean."
And then you stated that "A Heavy weathering on them, would be more effective and real."

Are you just referring to the chipping of the prop or the whole weathering of the aircraft. In my opinion weathering and chipping does not take sides and chooses which aircraft it is going to affect.

I am glad that you raised this constructive point as I want the model to be as realistic as possible.

That's my answer Jo. Exactly.

NO CHIPPING --- YES on HEAVY weathering (colors)

We are MISSING the salt at home
