Default Semi Scale Blade Grips

As I am building my own 7 blade rotor head for the CH53 I want to source reasonable scale looking 600mm blade grips but try as I might I can't find a source that supplies them. I don't want to use Trex type or crummy plastic ones but grips that are a reasonable facsimile of scale type. The feathering shafts are going to be the Century ones with aluminium shrouds to mask them a bit.


Any ideas folks?

This is a rough layup in Sketchup of what I am thinking of doing. I received a reply from Marcel directing me towards these folks in Germany.

Take a look at these and these!!!!!.

I love craftsmanship of this level.
