Hasegawa 1/48 P-40E

The radiator assembly has been painted and installed, and the nose frame with propeller retainer is attached. I like the way Hasegawa retains the
propeller with the vinyl bushing so it will turn and the propeller can be removed, but usually the propeller will not spin freely so photos can not be taken
with the prop blurred. I shortened the length of the bushing and enlarged the cavity diameter in the nose piece. It may be necessary to put a point
on the end of the prop shaft to center the bushing when installing the propeller.
