Dave758 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I would like to make a C-119L from the Testors/Italeri C-119G. The C-119L had Hamilton Standard 3 Blade propellers. Does anyone make aftermarket 3 blade props that are the same type as used on the C-119L? Are there any other aircraft that used the same type? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmat Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I think that the C-119L had C-121 props taken from the boneyard. Don't know how good the Heller props are, though. Best wishes, Grant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt_S Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Try this: http://www.aeroclub-models.com/p.html?n=12&c=P103 What paint scheme/decals are you going to use? Matt B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave758 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 I would like to do the Taiwanese C-119L with the SEA Camo. I dont 't know if connie props will work as they were made by curtiss-electric. But I will have a look at them. Robbing an Anigran C-124 for the props would be too expensive.

Got some C-119L pics here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v26/Matt...arounds/C-119L/ This is the same a/c as featured in one of the Wolfpack decal sheets (the all-black scheme).

EDWMatt Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I think that the C-119L had C-121 props taken from the boneyard. Don't know how good the Heller props are, though. Best wishes, Grant Al Lloyd's C-119 book confirms they were C-121 props. Neither the Heller or Aeroclub props will work, as they are molded (cast) one piece with the spinners. There is a conversion for the Taiwan C-119 that pops up periodically on Evil-bay that includes the 3-blade props. Not sure if there's on on there now (e-bay's blocked here at work) but there was on there just a couple weeks ago when I was looking for an AC-119 kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark S. Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Gents: I purchased Aeroclub set P103 and they don't have spinners. All they have is the Curtis-Electric style governor cover. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave758 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for your help. I have read on a C-119 website where the three blade propellers were refered to as "connie props". So I will check out he aeroclub set. Gents:I purchased Aeroclub set P103 and they don't have spinners. All they have is the Curtis-Electric style governor cover.

Mark I stand corrected. That is good news. Didn't know they made a 749-style prop set also (the set I have is for the 1049 with spinners - honestly, I didn't check set number-turns out it's P094) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
