Thread: Which propeller discs to order for WGF planes?

  1. #1

    Default Which propeller discs to order for WGF planes?

    Hi all,

    I am looking at propeller discs from AA and it seems they come in two, three, and four blade varieties with diameters ranging from 10 mm to 14 mm.

    I can of course research the number of propeller blades for each aircraft type, but without having any of the blades on hand, it is hard for me to gauge what diameter propeller discs would be appropriate for each aircraft type. Off the top of my head, I would think that the Dr.I had a shorter propeller than, say, the SPAD XIII, and that I might want to use different sized discs - but it's possible that the 14 mm discs are simply too big for 1/144 altogether! It's a bit confusing because both the 10 mm and 14 mm have the same picture on the AA website.

    Anyone?

    I have ordered these and used them on some Shapeways and AIM planes I have.

    These are my Shapeways Nell's. I used the 10mm disks I thought looked good on the model.
