J Rutman Products offers these replacement propeller blades for the Hasegawa 1/32 Ju-87 D/G Stuka. The replacement prop blades more accurately depict the wooden broad blade VS111 props as seen in the late model Ju-87 Stukas, and they are similar to the prop blades found on the 1/32 scale Hasegawa Fw 190 D-9 kit. The kit (Ju-87 D/G) supplied prop blades have a rather 'slim' profile as compared to the resin replacement blades. Jerry Rutman has provided the modeller with the opportunity to replace the kit prop bladesand accurately depict a late model Ju-87 D/G Stuka.

The props are cast in the traditional light 'cream' coloured resin. A few small air bubbles are present as well as a little flash from the castingprocess.

The flash is easily removed and after a light coating of Mr. Surfacer, the air bubbles will not affect the final finish. Remember that
these wide chord broad blades were made from wood, so a base coating of a wood or light brown color would be recommended should the modeller wish to depict any wear or chipping of the blades.

I highly recommend this product to those who wish to depict an accurate late war D or G model Ju-87 Stuka!
