    Needs to find a Propeller for Seawolf! - 1/144 scale in size

    I was working on my Trumpeter kit today when I noticed that the 1.24 in prop is flat as a pancake! I searched the web for a brass or plastic prop for this model and I seem to can't find anything out there, I'm starting to stress out;

    Can anybody help me out on this one?

    Also noticed AFTER I put the propulser togetherr that the prop is shown on the outside rear and not inside, which is correct here?
    I seen Dave's was inside but on the backside would be easier if you had to remove it right?

    HELP HELP>> MAYDAY MAYDAY
    S.O.S...

          You could try gently heating

          You could try gently heating the blades and giving them a proper twist.

          ...certainly have nothing to lose!

              Dave, can you give some dimensions on your copper blade?

              Mark interested in the "minimum of 10" comment cause that never appeared to me when I did a test checkout but cancelled out.

                My blade is about 1.3

                My blade is about 1.3 X .25" and has a very close tolerance inside the shroud. I am not sure about the minimum as I always make a big order. Lot's of cool stuff. Dave.

                      Well I got my order in and I like what I see so far...for the Seawolf I'm not sure if it's going to be big enough but I will find out soon.
                      My restore project on my Shelby will be finishing soon, so now I will have the time to invest in my sub projects
