Hi Mike. The Clear rod is half inch plexi rod that I purchased at a local plastics supply company. I oredered a length and had it cut into 8 inch segments.

Ahh.  My favorite fighter of all time.  You did a fantastic rendition of the box art!  I love it!

I concur with all the kudos.

Handsome build of my favorite WWII fighter.

Where'd you get the clear (plastic?) rod?

The prop is a clear plastic disk that was cut from a sheet on a lathe. The blade blur was done as a decal and applied to the back of the disk. The yellow tip blur was airbrushed. I tried a number of different methods and this one seemed to look the best. It is a harder effect to achieve than I anticipated!

Bucksco, Hi. I have the same question as Aggieman. I know there is a company out there where you can buy them, but not sure who they are. Any help would be appreciated. Thank much. AARDVARK    Really great build

This one has been waiting patiently to be finished for a while now. The object was to replicate the Classic Leynwood artwork from the original issue box. Here is the finished product - now on to the ME-109!
