K5054NZ Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi team, A friend gave me a couple of his Dad’s old kits and one of them was an unopened Idea 1/72 Tracker. I’m having a lot of fun with it but the propellers are just awful: Generated from my Apple iPhone using tools.sportscard.trade Are there any types which could donate props? Are the Hasegawa S-2 ones actually right? I was going to use a set from my B-26K but they’re rather different. All advice greatly appreciated, and then I’ll be off to the Swap Shop to beg/borrow!

Snowbird3a Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 the Hasegawa ones are usable, are yours the HobbyCraft re-pop ? Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 @Snowbird3a that's gorgeous! Mine's an Idea, pre-Hobbycraft! For the most part it's a nice kit but the props, as you can see, are just awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MHaz Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 You might try Joe's Models and see if he still has any of the Aeroclub white metal props in stock. You need P079. I've got a set of these, and they're quite good. I'd show a pic or 2, but they're in storage right now. http://www.joesmodels.com/AEROCLUB_72_PROPELLERS.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viking73 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Yeah, the hubs on the Hasegawa kit props are too small. Those white metal props are the way to go if you can find a set. -Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I’m broke, hopefully they’ll be in stock when I’m working again or have some spare change. Thanks again for the heads-up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
