Prop work continues. Only thing I got accomplished yesterday was to fit the current semi-scale Tru-turn spinner thru the prop blades so it would mate to the spinner base. Kind of sloppy fit but when the cuffs are finished, it will look OK. Problem is that the spinner is NOT scale and does not fit scale with a scale inner and outer spinner shell. I guess it looks OK as a 'stand off scale' look, bit I am going further than that.
The spinner shown I bought several years ago. It is a TruTurn TT-2704-B which is supposed to be a 4-blade P-51 spinner with 2-34 inch profile.
The OEM blade image is one I captured and printed, also several years ago, and simply taped to one blade with 2-sided tape.
