This kit offers a replacement spinner & prop blades of correct profiles
and dimensions, as well as 12 and 14-bladed fans.
Special thanks to Bill Strandberg and Floyd Werner for providing
measurements for the prop, spinner & prop weights from surviving
original items.
This style of prop with external weights is not supplied in the Hasegawa
kit, but can be found in many photos of Fw 190A-F's. The Ultracast
prop and weights are based on measurements from surviving originals.
