Grizly Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I'm currently working towards converting the HKM Lancaster kit to a Mk.X. So far I've eliminated the side windows as can be seen below and am looking ahead at installing Hamilton Standard paddle blade propellors. Would anybody care to suggest an after market source for the required props? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizly Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Brewerjerry, my mistake, I should have indicated my HKM Lanc is 1/48 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the same as the paddle blade props used on later British Lancs? Many boxing's of the Tamiya kit come with both needle and paddle blades, so they are out there is spares boxes.

tomprobert Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I have a set of Tamiya paddle-blades in the spares box - they're yours if you want them. Just ping me a PM and we can get it sorted. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Line Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The HS 'paddle blade' used on the Mosquito was the 6519A-12, the prop diameter being 12ft. I believe the Lancaster HS blade was the same basic blade i.e. 6519 but with a greater diameter being 13ft, so roughly an additional 6 inches on each blade. I believe the prop hubs were the same.

Scooby Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I’m also looking for paddle blade props for my 1/48 HK Lanc. Does any one have four spares from a Tamiya kit they can part with? Or has any aftermarket company produced them since this original post went up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
