Reaper 9000 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I have a P-47 model my dad got cheap from the Franklin Mint but it is missing a propeller blade. I was wondering what material I could use to sculpt a new one. Thanks in advance to anybody who can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robokochan Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 What scale is it? You could probably get a modle kit of the same scale and use it. Or they may even sell props at a hobby shop. Making one would be very difficult because of the angles and such. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Try this site www.greatmodels.com. They have a ton of accessories for all scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper 9000 Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 (edited) Thanks for the replies. I believe its a 1/48 scale. The prop is rather small so if I did have to make a new one it shouldn't be too terribly hard to sculpt. But kitbashing does sound like a nice alternative if I can't sculpt it. Anyone know where I can find a cheap 1/48 P-47 model? I'll check out that site, neptunesurvey. Still I would like to know what I could use to make a new one. I've seen lots of people making custom parts for models before. What do you use? -edit- oops wrong scale it is actually 1/48 Edited January 16, 2004 by Reaper 9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I'm not very good at doing custom parts. I just build them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Situations like that make recasting a very useful set of skills to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanata67 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 uhm... I have no idea what you need unless you post a pic but... I did recentlt "rescue" a few unbuilt model planes from a dumpster I figured I could use as bitz at some point. I know I have a couple of propellers in the mix and I know I'll never use them so I'd be happy enough to let you have them if they might be of use.

Reaper 9000 Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 Thank you to everyone that responded. I found a cheap 1/48 P-47 model kit on ebay so hopefully I will be able to use it. I'll let you know what happens after I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
