Guillow's Chipmunk Kit 50-2

[Marc Guerriero]

I agree, I am making a similar propeller, following the Maxfliart Youtube video, and making the brass tube  freewheel part is the mot tricky

Yes, it would help a lot of modelers out to have 3D printed hubs. I am surprised other retailers have not taken advantage of it. Maybe they have, but I am just not aware of it. I knew that the spinner was going to be challenging to replicate per scale. Maybe I should have gone with my first choice of a cut down 900 series P-51/Hawker Typhoon spinner. But what I have is starting to grow on me. It gives the model character and accentuates its "Chipmunkness". Besides, I have seen a lot of RC chipmunks that don't exactly have the most scale proportional spinners.

I am still contemplating whether or not I want to rethink the whole spinner situation. This is what I have. Any honest opinions welcome. Don't be afraid to be honestly critical if you feel that way. All opinions welcome.

It looks pretty good to me Marc - the only slight improvement would be to have the skirt of the spinner a little closer to the cowl. I'm not sure I would go through the whole spinner exercise just for that!

Paint and finish is first class.

Well, you know I tend to be a masochist about these things when I am not satisfied. And since I am in for the "long haul" I am willing to take whatever time I need to get it right. I might build a spinner with a frame work and then fill in the spaces with pieces of strip wood.
