VSF'ing a starfury?

[Gluteus Maximus]

Hm, well my girlfriends dad is into RC airplanes, so I’m sure he can point me in the right direction, not sure if I could find small enough props for the side exhausts, for some reason I think props looking more like ship props would look best on those, I might just get some lego ones as they seem to fit correctly.

Cheap plastic WW1 or WW2 aircraft kits? Plenty of choice on e-bay etc or have a good dig around in car-boot sales. They come in a variety of different sizes.

You would probably be able to cannibalise other parts such as wheels, engine doodahs, wings etc - especially from WW1 planes.

I always fancied making some steam-powered microlites from bits of 1/72 WW1 planes. One day, maybe.....

The problem with cannibalizing model planes would be that I need 4 identical big props and 8 Identical small props. I think that ordering those lego props would be my best bet, I can get enough props for under two euro’s and I have at least one of pretty much any lego prop myself so I can at least judge how they would look on it.

Ironclad make a nice prop for their nef - they are available separatey at a sensible price too I believe.
