Hi, can you not take a new scalpel blade and tamiya tape and cut a spiral mask - or even, if you have a steady hand and an 0 or 00 long hair brush, paint on spiral by carefully turning the spinner as you go. If you think too difficult try contacting Hasegawa for a spare set.

I sent them an email I'll let you know if i hear back from them, I thought about masking one but not sure if i could do it, I already installed the prop blades so makes it a little difficult.

I'm looking through my spares box at the mo. Is the spiral white? What about using the edge rules on a spare decal sheet and carefully winding it round - realise it must be difficult if blades are on spinner. Will stay on the case...

If you have no luck with Hasegawa try Hannants website they carry an extensive range of decals.

I've got a load of spinner spiral decals. I definitely have one for a Ta 152 which should be close. I've also got various ones for regular Fw 190s which might well conform with a bit of Microsol or similar.

If you want them PM me an address and I'll pop the Ta 152 and one most like it in the post.

Cheers

I've got a few sky bands - beige/white - in colour spirals could possibly be cut out as they already have a curve to them.

Thanks everyone for the offers of help, I ended up masking it on with some tamiya tape and it turned out pretty well, I will be posting pics when finished to get some pointers as this is my first ever plane, so some things went wrong (decals lol)

That looks superb and the spiral on the prop spinner has worked out very well indeed.
