I took a few hours to "correct" the prop.
It was the older narrow chord version used on the P-40E.
I suppose when Hasegawa put out later marks, they just didn't redo the prop.
Apoxie, superglue, and perfect plastic putty were used to make it a wide chord prop.
There was a product available from Grey Matter Figures for this wide prop.
But the product and company are defunct now.
I ordered some mold rubber so I can take an impression.  Don't want to have to do this again!

That is great news!  Perhaps we will have an accurate Merlin P-40F/L in that scale!

I do believe the Hasegawa P-40s are very good in that scale...but they are already approaching 20 years old.
Time for Eduard to work their magic!

Prop is painted.  Just needs some weathering.
