1/72 large 3-blade props needed

[JohnEB]

I recently received a solid travel agency-type 1/72 DC-4. I thought it would be fun to revive it.

As you can expect, it needs props.

And a stand, decals... 

 

Any suggestions where I can find some props?

Being a desk type model, I don't need exact DC-4 units,

"close enough" would be close enough.

 

If all else fails, I can go the clear plastic disc route the way I did with my 1/72 metal C-124 manufacturers desk model.

In which case, I'd need metal (or plastic) hub/shaft units.

 

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I can 3D print some for you, if that helps. I can probably also help with those decals if you need it too. If you can help me find a good diagram of the DC-4 props we can make this happen.

Thanks for your kind offer, but after talking it over with some modelling friends, I've decided to use clear prop discs...to match my other model and because as a gear-less desk type model, it will naturally be in "flight" mode.

 

Thanks again!

Cool! Not a problem.

SBS makes a set of 1:72 DC-4/C-54 props and the decal options are huge! check out the SCM listing.

Dutch,

Thanks, I searched Scalemates bit did not find those.

 

I found some nice TWA decals with windows (necessary because it's a solid model), which I like because of the limited amount of painting needed (basically, all silver).
