Here's the prop, 1st attempt, not unhappy with it overall and particularly happy with the hub.

So I masked it for the yellow tips, decals seems like a terribad idea, did not even try. But, new to the medium and techniques I underestimated the strength of Tamiya tape when using on top of acrylic with hairspray under that. Remember, I'm used to thick and bulletproof enamels? Anyway, you can see the clear line where the tape pulled the black off.

But based on many photos I've seen of what props looked like after a few months in the South Pacific, I'm okay with this.
