Default Saw/Blades/Display Prop for F4U Corsair Kit

I am diligently working my Top-Flite 1/8 scale Corsair and am almost at the point where I can start sheeting. During my time with her I have found that a razor saw would really have been nice. It seems like I am going through the Exacto #11 blades often. I have a sharpening stone and was wondering if anyone has had success with those or should I get the saw?

When finished I want to use a 3 bladed prop for displaying my work. Any ideas? Someone suggested a J&Z 8x6 3-Blade Fiberglass Propeller for the display of the Gold Edition F4U Corsair (1/8 .60) but that doesn't seem large enough.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, a razor saw is very handy.

You want a 20" diameter 3-bladed prop for static display from here: [link]http://www.aerotechmodels.com/static.htm[/link]

The blades of an 8x6 prop wouldn't stick out much past the cowl.

Thanks for the information. I guess the 8 was way off!
