I love that propeller paint job.  That actually made me think it could work for a "in-flight" presentation on a more detailed scale kit as well.  Just swap out the prop and paint the "blur lines"... hmmm...

Great work all the way around.
Thanks!

Cutting the disc out of polycarbonate was hell because I didn't have a suitable tool for it, so I just had to mark it out, cut it bit-by-bit with a saw and then round it off with sandpaper. Having said that, I used very thick polycarb to make sure the edge wasn't sharp and it couldn't break easily: if you were doing it for a non-baby-proof display model you could use much thinner stuff.
