cf18hornet Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hello everyone. Recently I began building a 1/72 T-6/Harvard and when it came to painting the propeller I couldn't find it anywhere. I don't believe I lost it because I keep all the sprues in a box and only remove parts when needed. The kit is an old Heller kit and I posted in the spares forum regarding if anyone had an extra lying around with no luck. Does anyone know of a model manufacturer that has also released a 1/72 T-6 kit where I could get one from. I was thinking Academy because if i recall correctly they released one a few years back. Thanks Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm not sure how easy it is to get parts from Academy these days, but I believe the Heller T-6 is currently in production by Airfix. You might try shooting them a line..the replaced a short-shot Spitfire fuselage half for me with no problem (not sure how they'd feel about a lost part.) SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cap'n Wannabe Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I've got a feeling Hobby Boss has one in their easy-build range.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 They do indeed..but again, I don't know how easy they are to get parts from. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mandie Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Send me your snail address, I probably have an extra laying around somewhere. T6's are my favorite so I have have many. Mandie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve N Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If she doesn't have one I probably do..and since I'm married to her she can probably sweet-talk me out of one. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cf18hornet Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Awesome. Thanks Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cf18hornet Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Hi all, I'm bumping this thread because a few months ago I thought I had found someone with an extra T-6 Texan propeller. Unfortunately I was never contacted back from them. So the search is back on. If anyone has an extra they haven't used and you wouldn't mind parting with it I have a nearly completed model in desperate need of a prop. Thank you for looking, Mark Edited August 20, 2012 by cf18hornet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Sorry..Mandie forgot about it and we just got back from a two-week road trip. We'll get it in the mail tomorrow! SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cf18hornet Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Awesome. Thank you so much. Let me know how much I owe you for parts/shipping and I'll send payment off immediately. Thanks again, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cf18hornet Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thank you Steve & Mandie. I received the propeller in the mail today's safe and sound. . Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
