Somewhat on topic - has anyone seen a paper model of the Curtiss Stingaree? It also was a mixed-power plane.

@mks2000 - not me. It would make a nice pair with the Fireball. Maybe GPM notes that mixed-power airplane kits have clients. I'd probably be one of them!
The kit provides a simple paper rectangle to make the propeller hub. As the tip should be rounded, the paper roll resulting from the rectangle would have to be sanded out. I don’t like the method and made a suitably drawn paper strip, in thin paper, in order to have a rounded tip. The roll was skinned with the painted part of the rectangle provided in the kit. Blade construction is in two stages and quite easy. |

outstanding work as always, I like the inner structure for the propellers, very clever.

Good work on this!
I remember hearing stories of the pilots for these planes pulling up to another unknowing prop plane. Shutting down their props switching to jet them passing the other pilot just giving a shrug and bewildered look. Then laughing to their friends on the radio they had gotten another one. |

Thanks for the comments, friends
@ Paúl - I swapped the original paper rolls, inside the blades for others in thin paper. You know that GPM paper is much to thick. Fortunately, it delaminates quite neatly, when needed. @ TheHawk - good one Yes, it should be surprising!... The bombs lack gluing tabs, which I added. The same goes for the paper rolls to shape the nose. |

Thanks, Michael
The pictures show the rear fuselage construction. You can see that the engine exhaust diameter is a fraction of the fuselage section behind the wings. I added gluing tabs and some reinforcements to properly fix the tail hook. |

Such neat and clean work. A true craftsman.
