This is one of my favorite aircraft projects I have seen... adding a motorized prop is simply a perfect touch, the mirrored finish to the display plaque does double duty to reveal the lower fuselage as well. I sincerely appreciate the unified approach and your vision. All the best.

Thank you so much, Kent!! Beats a ceramic cup, methinks.

Look, a mug-jig! Lol!
Quick, Bruce, get a patent for that!

Kent, I've seen your build over on BM some time ago and I have admit, that this is one of the very few in-flight prop models that I like. All the other solutions, like clear discs with blurred shadows of the blades on it or those strange pe-parts were not convincing to me. Leaving the blades completely off was at least consequent, but not helpful for the look of the plane.
A propeller has to spin when the plane flies, period! And before I forget to mention: The plane behind the prop is exceptional built and painted!

Thank you both very much for your praise. I may not be able to put a cap on after reading your comments.

Very nice build, Kent! I really like the early Luftwaffe splinter schemes, especially the ones with the lighter color components. You've done this one very well.

Having seen and followed your work John, I am honoured to have received your comments and they are humbly accepted. You are a modeller to whom the mainstream can ascribe to emulate.

Kind Regards,
