Sgmartz Posted April 27 #1 Posted April 27 Like the title says, looking for brass or other metal propellers for my 1/350 IJN Yamato build. Looks like there were some out there at one point but it seems like they are no longer made. Any suggestions or direction would be much appreciated! Admins - not sur if this was the right place to post... mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote

AON Posted April 27 #3 Posted April 27 Are they for show or "to go" (R/C controlled model)? If for show, do you have any knowledge of the details or dimensions of the props? They could be easily 3D resin printed and painted. mtaylor, Scottish Guy and Keith Black 3 Quote Alan O'Neill "only dead fish go with the flow" Ongoing Build (31 Dec 2013) - HMS BELLEROPHON (1786), POF scratch build, scale 1:64, 74 gun 3rd rate Man of War, Arrogant Class Member of the Model Shipwrights of Niagara, Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada (2016), and the Nautical Research Guild (since 2014) Associate member of the Nautical Research and Model Ship Society (2021) Offshore member of The Society of Model Shipwrights (2021)
Sgmartz Posted April 28 Author #4 Posted April 28 Thx for the replies. Yes I have some from the original kit but was hoping to get some made in brass. Just for show. Keith Black, Scottish Guy and mtaylor 3 Quote

Keith Black Posted April 29 #6 Posted April 29 (edited) Glad I was able to help and hopefully those are in stock. Locating hard to find electronic components and military aircraft hardware and subassemblies was the job I retired from so this is kinda up my alley, so to speak.
