Prop Rod - resto to a runner

Oh, I hate to admit it. I lost my mind, and after swearing:

"baby Bees ONLY" then getting into TDs
"Cox ONLY" then getting into Wen Mac, Fox, McCoy
"glow ONLY" then getting into ignition
"no boxes" then getting into box resto

I have finally broken the "Airplanes ONLY" and got a Prop Rod.
its ugly, cracked, messy. A total RsvCox- Robert-Style resto needed.

Oddly, I found a good canopy. I can clean most of it, but that HUGE crack on the left, I dont yet know....

A winner Charles. Almost pristine!!!! Smile

It has the mounting ears intact, a rariaty for these. Did you find the canopy at the Classic Tin Toy Factory. I found mine there.

These are really fun to clean up. Be careful of the axles, heat helps. Bob

Yes, classic tin for the canopy

axles actually roll! but needs good gentle cleaning, motor turns

no clue on how to attack the cracked body yet, but I'll get there.

"axles actually roll!"

A gift. Nothing short of heat free'd mine up. Heat, vice, drift punch, tapping hammer.

This was my worst. Notice no engine mounting ears. Body cracked and broken. It's amazing what a little body putty, paint, and repro decals can do.
