Big Prop for a Christen Eagle…

img_3436I was trying to find a place to store the static prop, and ended up “storing” it on the Christen Eagle. This is the engine that will power the P-47, so it gets it out of the way a bit. Looks a bit big for the Eagle though…

Static Prop arrived today.

I went ahead and ordered the Static Prop from Aerotech and it arrived today. Looks great and it’s going to save a TON of time compared to what I had in front of me with the Yellow Aircraft static prop. Just look at that detail on the hub!

Construction begins.

Deciding where to start, I went a different route than most. I decided to start with the bombs and the static prop. I figured I could start with “replaceable” items just in case I screwed them up. By the time I have them finished, I should have my building skills back online.

Here’s a shot of the static props which have been primed, sanded and filled. One more coat of primer, a good sanding, and they’re ready to paint.
