Was it made out of wood? I'm kind of assuming it was...but I'm not sure.
I bought a cheapie 1/72 Airfix kit (no, I'm never going to learn my lesson about kits that cost less than $5!) and it has no painting instructions in it.
From pictures on the box, I can handle most of the painting...except for the prop.
I'm 75% sure it's a wooden prop....can anyone confirm that for me?
