    The full size Type VII

    The full size Type VII had 3-blade props that were 1620mm in diameter.

    The full size Gato had 4-blade props that were 7 feet 9-1/2 inches in diameter.

    As for the Corvette, I went out to my garage and took a look, but I didn't see any props on the 'vet?

    (Flower-class corvettes had a single 3-blade prop as did the Castle-class. The River-class had two 3-blade props)

      I have the Revell Gato

      George

      I have the Revell Gato and Corvette propellers in stock, but not yet added to my web page at www.caswellplating.com/models.htm

      The Type VII is available, but I don't have any yet.

      All made of brass.

        Revel 1/72 Corvette Prop

        Be there with The SubCommitte Table person with my name on them. I will be there on Saturday.

          George,

          You could give Al Matava

          George,

          You could give Al Matava of Ships n' Things a call. He's been stocking Raboesch props for years and maintains an excellent on-hand stock. I just ordered some props from him a week ago and they arrived in 2 days time. Al is also a long-time supporter of all things SubCommittee.

          The web site is: http://www.shipsnthings.com
