Ended up going or in my case investing in a 26.5" 13' scale Curtiss Electric propeller from Aero Tech [8D]

If you look at the detail and the blade proportions of the Aerotec prop versus some of the others you will see that you made the best choice.

The Hamilton blades and hub seem to be harder to come by in a ready fabricated package.

I use his 3 blade on my KI-84 and find it to be much closer to scale than some of the other offerings.

The biggest plus is that Wayne and crew do what they say and do not over promise and under deliver.

Gremlin I too agree that the Aerotech props are the finest I have seen. I already have another planned for my nextest project

What Aaaaaa cheap shot[>:]PLEASE I have not finished my Curtiss Electric and Mannnnn to thinking If I had aZDZ80 fitted that would set the FTE "fake radial ERrrR-2800 back in the cowl where it belongs But then again [sm=idea.gif] I STILL have to finish the radial looking for some detailed frontal shots of the R-2800 as fitted in the Thunderbolt .

RE: Scale 4 blade Curtis or Hamilton
 

Sure it helps thanks Connery especially the Curtiss Electric photos.:D Also regarding the engine I see some rust?? and or grime on several of the R-2800 Cylinders woould that be the case if it were photographed relativly new in March of 44[8D]
