I've got some Republican roundels/serials from an I-15 that you can have, if you want (they may be a bit small and are also ICM, so not great quality).
Is this your sanderling?.

hi i've glued the fuselages up on both kits fitted the props and radiator grills and have stuck the d510 fuselage and wing together, both kits will require a fair bit of filler on forward fuselage seams and wing joints
thanks craig

We look forward to seeing everything when you can manage it again. No pressure on you, just carry on as usual.
Did you get a prop for the D510 ?

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

I have a mass of two-blade props. I may have one I can send you. Googling the D500 showed two types of two-blader props, one with a big pointy spinner and one with just a dirty great hub. Both were left-hand turning, from the pilots view. If I knew what size; that is length from tip to tip I could narrow the choice.
