I decided to try and make a new prop for my little Delphin sub that looked more like a torpedo counter rotating prop set.
The real sub actually had a power unit from a German torpedo for propulsion.
Tring to make a real counter rotating system would have been a royal PITA so I decided to try for a trick of the eye.
Looking similar to a twin torpedo prop set both blade sets turn the same direction and are in fact one prop.
A casual glance would have you think it was two props looking like the torpedo system.
I can't wait to try out the prop as it will give me more bite than the old one had.
I know you are saying what this world needs is Bigdave with a faster sub right?
My 8-ball buddies are probably polorizing their hull plating as we speak.
I do think it turned out cool looking.
Here are some photos of the real prop and mine. BD.
