me again, looking for help

Does anyone know where I can get a scale propeller for a 403 Spitfire kit? The 2 bladed one of plastic they supply is for rubber power, and I do not yet have the skill to make a propeller as per the directions. :?:

you have the skill to make one. get yourself a hunk of balsa, wide enuff, long enuff, and fat enuff for the prop. first start with carving from the top to match the front view. you can do it.

I am going to try- thank you for the encouragement. I will report how I do. So far the laser cut kit is night and day different from the die-cut versions. All the stringer notches come out evenly and without any damage, and the larger pieces literally fall out of the part sheet. Way to go, Guillow- Now please keep expanding the laser cut models available.
