B-26 propeller? (1/48)
Posted by Redman7176 on Saturday, February 27, 2021 11:23 AM

I am knee deep in a B-26 build (1/48), and now have a prop missing. I am building the old Monogram/Revell kit. I looked up online ordering replacement parts, from Revell but they are not currently shipping parts due to COVID. 

Does anyone happen to have a spare I could purchase off them? Not likely but thought I would at least ask! 

Thanks

Glad to hear you found a prop so quickly!  That is one of the beauties of this forum.  Lots of nice folks.

By the way, why or how should a virus prevent a company from shipping parts?  I am so tired of this virus being used an excuse for anything and everything.  Now my car dealership won't even wash my car after service, as they always have done.  Yup, they told me they can't wash cars because of covid!

There are a ton of good folks on here willing to help for sure! Not the first time someone has helped me either. Gotta be a tight knit group, there aren’t a lot of us!

Here is the statement about replacement parts from Revell. “ Please note that currently no spare part orders can be delivered to the USA. Since the shipping has been stopped by the service providers. This is in connection with the COVID 19 virus. Enquiries are therefore currently not being processed. Please try again at a later date.”

Agreed!! The covid Thing is being taken advantage of. You dealership not washing your car but they'll work on it?! What the hell?! I'm a dealer tech, we've never done that kind of dumb thing. 

Redman, If you weren't able to find a prop for that kit, there should be a couple of aftermarkets like quickboost. Plus there's a Canadian company that does a lot with these kinds of parts, can't think of the name though Confused

Yeah, re that car dealership:  I wonder if I  bought a new car, would they deliver it dirty?

I guess I will have to buy my next car somewhere else, because "of the virus."
