Small Scale Military Headquarters

I just got my Corgi 1/32 Mosquito. It is pretty big. The box is huge. It has some fine detail with moving undercarriage, flaps, aelerons, rudder, elevator, removable engine covers with fairly detailed engines, opening bomb bay doors to name a few. The only negative I see are the props are the same. Unlike the 1/18 p-38 where the pitch is opposite on each prop the blades are the same which may not be correct because I suspect these props were counter rotating to keep the plane ballanced. Correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise another fine 1/32 model from Corgi.

I picked up one from the Onmark sale a couple of weeks ago, very nice plane. My 1/32 airforce is growing fast, with the new 21 st planes. I'll have to get a few pics of those up one of these days.

It is actually rare to have counter-rotating props on a twin as it requires two different engines and thus two entirely different supply chains, assembly lines, etc., thus greatly increasing the cost and maintenance effort. The only time it is noticed is if one engine is lost, there will be a bit more pull into the "critical engine" but most of these aircraft had power and rudder to spare, so it wan't a particularly huge issue. Contrary to what you might think when reflecting on a single engine, torque is not doubled on a twin as it isn't torquing around the axis/CG.

Thanks for the info Hoverbug.
