PROPS..
THE PROPS ARE EASILY REMOVED FROM THEIR MOULDING, BY USING A CRAFT KNIFE, KEEP SCOURING ALONG THE EDGE TIL' THEY COME OFF BECAREFUL AT THE TIP OF THE PROP' THERE IS A THICKER PIECE OF RESIN AND IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL YOU WILL BREAK THE PROP'.
ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE PROP' NEEDS CLEANING UP WITH WET 'N' DRY PAPER.
SPINNERS...
THE SPINNERS HAVE GOT A BIG PIECE OF THE RESIN AT THE BACK, SO THIS NEEDS TO BE SANDED BACK TO THE EDGE OF THE SPINNER,[ I USED COURSE WET'N'DRY PAPER ON A FLAT SURFACE SO IT SANDED DOWN LEVEL ].
PROPS AND SPINNERS.....
WHEN I WENT TO TEST FIT THEM TOGETHER I FOUND THAT THE HOLE IN THE SPINNER IS YOO BIG FOR THE PROP' AND THE PIECE WHICH IS ON THE END OF THE PROP IS TOO BIG, SO I HAD TO CUT IT DOWN, SO IT WOULD FIT FLUSH IN THE HOLE.
THEN I FOUND THAT THE ANGLE OF THE PROP' TOO THE SPINNER IS WRONG AND MAKES THE PROP STICK OUTWARDS, WICH YOU DON'T WANT !, I PUT A MATCH STICK UNDER THE ENDS OF THE PROPS TO HOLD THEM LEVEL, WHILE YOU ARE PUTTING THEM TOGETHER LOOK AT THE PROPS AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN THE CORRECT POSITION AND HAVE A LEVEL ' Y ' SHAPE TO THEM.[ KEEP CHECKING ]
PAINTING....
ALL OVER MATT BLACK WITH YELLOW TIPS, THEN CLEAR MATT TO SEAL THE BLACK.
I USED SUPER GLUE TO PUT THESE TOGETHER,I THEY HAVE NOW REMOVED MY OLD PADDLE BLADE PROPS AND THE NEW ONES LOOK GOOD ON THE DAMBUSTER LANC'
