The decals are on. They came from the spares box. I girlled up the nose a bit. I had these left over from the P-61 build. Besides, we had a Cobra with two names. "California Dreaming & Kansas Killer". 67-15135. I'm in the process of making Silicon molds for the props. I tried carving one with no luck. I'l.p. find out in the AM how they turn out. Gary S.
Git'er done Gary!

So far so good with the Silicon molds and epoxy. First set of two blades popped from the molds this AM. A second set of molds in the making along with epoxy props. Gary S.
Nice fix, looking forward to how these turn out.

I was trying to figure out a way to attach the blades to the hub. So I decided to just mold new hubs and include the blades into the mold. The clear epoxy I used is from Dollar Tree. It seems to work and needs a lot of clean up. They look very primitive, but that's ok. At least they look better than crossed pop sickle sticks. Gary S.
I had the same problem Gary, drill a hole on the hub and prop and stick a pin in it.
What you got looks great though, proceed!

After 20+ years in the attic and 45+ years from being built she's back in the air. Gary S.
Fantastic recovery Gary!!

Excellent rebuild Gary! I am surprised that she survived the attic without getting a dose of warp space.

Thanks!! This rebuild took a little longer than anticipated. For the last 3 or 4 months it's been one or two builds after another. Then there was a two week delay in starting the Twins build and so the B-29 rebuild began. Now I just need to catch my breath and get going again on the Twins. I think it came out better than expected. Gary S.
