A replacement propeller in 1:48 scale for a model of the P-51D Mustang fighter.
Responsibility details are not available.
The North American P-51D Mustang is an American single-seat fighter of the Second World War, recognizable by its bubble canopy. It was powered by a Packard V12, a license-built version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and the machine carried a four-blade propeller. It is precisely the propeller that a visitor sees first on a finished model, because it stands in the line of sight and nothing can hide it.
It is a finished replacement part, that is a propeller with which you replace the part from the kit. The replacement makes sense where the blades from the kit are too thick or have a weak section. Whether the package also holds the spinner, and what exact pattern of propeller it captures, is given by the manufacturer's instructions.
Cut the surplus material off with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the rest down, so that the propeller hub stays round. Wash and degrease the part before painting. Cement for polystyrene need not hold on it; super glue is more reliable. When seating it, take care that the blades stand in line and have the same angle; a lack of symmetry shows more on a propeller than anywhere else. The blades of American fighters tended to be dark with a light tip, but check the particular pattern against a photograph of the machine you are building.
A replacement part is supplied. The kit, the paints and the glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
