Clear Prop

[NARSES2]

The Type 161 has always intrigued me but I can never get my brain round the fact it was a 30's design. It always looks like the perfect anti Zeppelin aircraft to me, and I suppose large airships were still en-vogue at the time, so maybe there was some logic in it ?

Or it preempts Schragemusik gear by a decade?

That fact is mentioned in more than one article on the type

The name 'Clear Prop' must come from the same roots as the 'Lift Here' guys in Croatia, or wherever they are.

I'm expecting a company called 'This way up' to appear before much longer.

I thought I was joking, but it turns out there really IS a model company called 'This Way Up'! 

They made 1/43 scale model car engines and stuff, trading under the 'TWU' icon.  Sadly they appear to have gone out of business as their entire range is listed as 'Discontinued'.

A pity, as I already have a 'Lift Here' kit, and I'd love to make a complete set with that 'Clear Prop' Pioneer and a 'This Way Up' kit too. 

All we need is "No Push" and "Remove Before Flight"!

And you can't not have a "No Step" manufacturer, too.

What about "Mind The Gap"? - I suppose that'd be a putty company ...

Oh, the puns are upon us!

"No Step" would, obviously, manufacture those tiny little PE parts that involve a dozen intricate folds to get the correct shape, then ping off onto the floor just as you've succeeded in finishing the last fold.

My first thought when I saw "Clear Prop" in the title was that they did printed plastic props for in flight dioramas.

You are not alone there.

I have an impeccable source that tells me there's a sock wool manufacturing company that really IS called 'Mind the Gap'!

That was my thought as well.

Very bad news for my wallet.

Due, in the one true scale, from Clear Prop before the end of the year.  Another of my favourite aircraft.

SU-25


And due in 2021.

SU-25U

The Grach is IMO eminently whiffable.

Their high back La-5 is supposed to be awesome too.
