This is the two-page kit for a 1/33 scale vintage sabre-shaped prop, suitable for WWI and other vintage aircraft. This particular prop is appropriate for a Sopwith Camel or similar.
The basic idea is to use two tones of wood-coloured paper. For a 1/33 scale prop this requires 18 layers to build up into scale thickness. Original vintage props of this kind were laminated from 9 layers, judging from photos and drawings. The scale prop therefore is built up of two layers of one shade of wood-coloured paper, alternating with four layers of another shade. Each of the 18 layer parts consists of a prop part and a rectangular jig. The jig is just what's left when the prop is cut out from the rectangular jig part of a layer. Jigs and prop parts are glued in order to form a stack, and at the end of the build the jig parts are peeled away. |
