Eduard/Hasegawa P-40N on the bench

I was hoping to find a Grey Matter prop somewhere but had no luck. I looked in my spares stash and lo and behold I found what I think is a prop from the Trumpeter SBD kit which will fill the bill just fine.

That looks better than the kit one...good call!

Amazing what’s in the spares box, I tend to bag spares up by kit so I know the source........looking good as always John.....

Thanks Phil. I agree. Extensive "spares" can come to the rescue in many cases. I've saved left over kit parts for MANY years.

JohnB what you are doing is going on for real nowadays.

The Curtiss Electric prop is so rare and expensive now that a lot of current P-40 owners are using Hamilton Standard which is more plentiful!

Quite the shape difference in those props.

I think I'm up to two Tamiya F-4 boxes worth of spare/leftover 1/32 aircraft kit parts so I'm a firm believer in keeping them as you never know when they will come in handy.

Well you have helped me out buddy, and I really appreciated it!

Just so you know, the P-40 is done and in RFI.
