Here's a new set of resin 1/48
- Hamilton Standard 13' 1" dia. prop with paddle style prop blades from
Ultracast used on the F4U-1D Corsairs,
F6F-3/5 Hellcats, TBM-3 Avengers, and F7F Tigercats (x 2). The earlier
variants of the Corsair and Avenger used a narrower style prop blade.
Check your kit to ensure you have the correct style blade. You are to use the resin parts instead of the
poorly detailed kit part.
There are 3 blades and one prop
hub in each set. Clean up is very minimal and the the parts come attached to casting blocks
at logical connecting points to ensure safe and easy removal with no loss of
detail. The detail level and casting quality is flawless.
Installation will be no problem and these will definitely add to the
detail of your next model. I recommend these for anyone building one
of the planes listed above....a sharp looking prop really does show up well on
one of these WW2 aircraft.
I'd like to thank
Kevin at Ultracast for sending me this
review sample.
