I'm looking for the above named prop specifically with the spinner. It's for an SBD. I have 2 of the old Monogram kits. I built one years ago and I loved the little buggers, but I'd like a proper prop to do a -3. I have the old Medallion interior and Fotocut PE dive brakes and Squadron vac canopy for one and I want to build the 1st OOB.
The AM kits, I have the -1 and the combo kit -3, -3A, 4, the combo kit seems to have at least 2 of these in them but if I borrow them I can only do them as -4s. The Monogram only has the single rear firing MG, I suppose I could pirate a twin from the AM kits, and build one of the Monos as a -4 and the AM one as a -3. I went to the AM site but they won't sell parts unless it's a replacement for a damaged or missing kit part. I suppose I could lie, but don't want to. I could maybe cast it in resin but I've only done single side molds so far.
The Ultracast one doesn't come with the spinner and Aeroclub has a couple of CE but I'm not sure which is correct and if it has the spinner.
I read long ago that you could use a Bic pen cap cut down to fake the spinner for the Mono but the blades are the wider cord HS type and I'm not sure I can cut them down without ruining them.I could settle for that.
Any thoughts?
