Giorgio N Posted January 15 Posted January 15 A Zveno 2: 4 propellers for the TB-3 mothership and one each for the 3 fighters carried by the Tupolev, making a total of 7 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1 7 1
Tbolt Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I'm guessing not a P-47 then as it had more than seven if you take into account all the different part numbers used, though visually some look the same. 1

There's no garuntee they are going to do every variant in this project. I'd say anything with number of prop designs >= 7 is in the running
Tbolt Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Just now, Adam Poultney said: There's no garuntee they are going to do every variant in this project. I'd say anything with number of prop designs >= 7 is in the running When they said project, I thought they meant the real project not the model project, but could be either I guess.
Piotr Mikolajski Posted January 15 Posted January 15 43 minutes ago, Adam Poultney said: I suspect they mean 7 different prop variations rather than a machine with 7 propellers! Yep, 7 different propellers. Just now, Tbolt said: When they said project, I thought they meant the real project not the model project, but could be either I guess. Nope, they are talking about different propellers in the whole kit project. 3
New Tool Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Piotr Mikolajski said: Yep, 7 different propellers. Yes, 7 different propellers on an airship! If they mean 7 different kits, then OK; 7 airships, each with 1 propeller (either similar propellers, or totally unique ones). Edited January 15 by New Tool 3

12by12 Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Spitfire? Nothing else comes near it. Two, several kinds of three, four, five and six blades. 5

I'd say anything with number of prop designs >= 7 is in the running I would only expect five props in a production P-47 series, unless there's some subtle differences I haven't notice in the others. I'm guess the Ta152 was very limited in props, but didn't they already mention a 152 was coming?
Fin Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Ok, but first: is this something we can’t guess correctly no matter how much we try (again)? 1
Piotr Mikolajski Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Just now, Tbolt said: I'm guess the Ta152 was very limited in props, but didn't they already mention a 152 was coming? Yep, Ta 152 was confirmed a while ago but without the release date. So this is not the Ta 152 family. 2
HKR Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Someone mentioned already that the Spanish Inquisition will come many times? 7
Adam Poultney Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 I've got to ask.... How many types of prop did the Do217 have in total? Perhaps including the 317?
Dennis_C Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) I think it is a good time to produce a 1/72 Mustang. I guess Mustangs had a lot of propeller variations. I'm totally unfamiliar with Bf-109 propellers. Could it also be a complete Bf-109 family including S-199 and Spanish Merlin engined version? Edited January 15 by Dennis_C 1
Dennis_C Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) An-2 had at least 7 propellers. Two types of early wooden ones (with straight and sabre-shaped blades) with and without spinners. That is four. Later metal bladed propeller standard for all An-2 produced in Poland. Three-bladed propeller from Li-2 that were actively fitted to An-2 to replace native wooden ones. Plus the seventh is a three-bladed propeller from turboprop An-3. P.S. @Piotr Mikolajski I know that IBG will not make An-2 Just wanted to count if An-2 fits into the conditions Edited January 15 by Dennis_C 5 1 1
modelldoc Posted January 15 Posted January 15 They must made the Bofors in 1:72 for the Bedford, that is the point. modelldoc
DominikS Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I think it might be Spitfire Mk.I-VI family: -one twoblader - two types of DeHavilland (three blade) - three types of Rotol (metal one used on some Mk.I, wooden used on Mk.II and Mk.V and the one used on Mk.V) - four blade Rotol, I think, used on Mk.VI and some Mk.V modified to intercept Ju 86. So this is my type. However, I might be wrong and it'll be completely something different. Piotr, tell us if it's WW2 plane, please. 4
