This new resin set
from Cutting Edge Modelworks
is for the Hasegawa Bf-109K. The set includes 3 propeller blades and the
spinner hub. The blades will need to be cut from the casting blocks but
this is east to do with a razor saw. The spinner hub will also need a tiny
bit of time to remove it from it's resin casting block.
The
parts are beautifully and flawlessly cast in the standard gray resin as all resin
detail items from Cutting
Edge Modelworks. The blades themselves are ultra thin and have that 3
dimensional curve to them that is very hard to describe, but very badly needed
when you are building a 3 dimensional model of this famous Luftwaffe
fighter. There is no indication of how to install the blades into
the spinner hub to get the correct pitch, but this can easily be figured out by
referring to the kit prop. This ability to adjust the pitch of the blade
also permits the more creative modeller to steam the blades and install them for
a belly landed Bf-109 in a diorama.
A very nice product
and well recommended.
I would like to
thank Cutting Edge
Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
