Clear Prop XA2D finished

[JohnB]

Done with this somewhat less than fun build LOL. It had it's moments and was set aside twice so I could work on the F4U-4. I think it turned out okay and is straight OOB. One weird looking bird. Painted with Alcald Dk. Aluminum. Decals are kit decals. I had to redo the props twice to get them right as I found it a bit difficult to tell exactly which way the blades should face since they all look nearly alike (and I knocked the nose off twice while handling it!). Anyway, this one is done and I hope you guys like it.

First time I've ever seen this kit built and you certainly did justice to the kit. Love the NMF .. looking so good.

Thank you Peter. It wasn't a particularly difficult build, just a lot of small, fiddly parts to contend with and my clumsiness.  Certainly not even close to the SB2C!😄

Nice job, John.  Very well done.  It is one strange bird.

Same here and I'm with Paul - od subjects add to the spice of modeling and keep the juices flowing.
