1/32 Blenheim propeller

Hi all

Looking to do a Sea Gladiator  based in Malta and wondered if anyone knows of anyone that produces a suitable Blenheim type prop or if there is another route to representing such a prop?

 

Thanks

Chris

Hi,

 

As per the relevant Air Publication, the Blenheim had a De Havilland variable-pitch prop Type 4/3, D.I.S. No 19 of 10 ft 9 in diameter.   The Lysander's prop, also De Havilland variable-pitch, is quoted as a D.I.S. No 15 of 11 ft 0 in diameter.

 

What exactly D.I.S. refers to is to be found in Air Publication 1538 Vol I,  of which I sadly don't have a copy.     Anyway, Lizzie's prop is larger in diameter by 70mm if I converted correctly, which in 1/32nd scale is 2.19 mm.     

 

Cheers,

Walter
