The "Handy" way to paint a spinner.

My Dad taught me this years ago. When he was building an Italeri 1:72 Lavochkin La-9. The spinner need white bands and he took his drill and fastened it to the propeller rod. Turned the drill on and proceeded to paint thin white bands. 

I thought at first that he had done it all by hand, and than I was even more impressed by this trick. 

I needed to paint the spinner on my Ki-100 white. Easy enough, grabbed some Vallejo white, and my Tamiya "Handy" drill and done. Just a few dabs of paint and a few passes, and I'm more than pleased with the result. 

Thanks Dad.
