Hello,
in my opinion the Airfix kit has propellers good enough

Maybe handy for those looking to update an older kit though!

I don't get it. Quick boost is providing accurate props for a kit that doesn't need it, but we modelers are howling for accurate props for the Revell Halifax and after 2+ years nobody answers the call?

I'll go back to my corner...

It takes more than just accurate props to fix the Halifax kit. In fact they probably wouldn't fit!
You are right, model companies are weird.... I should know!

For the Halifax, Aeroclub provided replacement props as part of their comprehensive engine cowling/nacelle replacement sets. Better props are also available with the Freightdog replacement cowlings. These sets do not address the too-wide nacelle/cowling but are a tremendous improvement on the kit.

I've a number of other Do.17 kits, although perhaps only one Z (the Frog). I presume that the Quickboost parts will be a good improvement on the Frog bits, but what about the ones on the RS Do.17M?
