Propeller needed
Discussion
I'm building the Billing Boats 'Phantom 710' Classic American Runabout, and want to replace the cheap plastic prop with an authentic-looking brass one.
It's 35mm diameter but I got confused on the number of styles...

Does anyone know what the original prop would have looked like, and whether L or R?

Can you not email them a photo of the original and ask their recommendation for a match in brass?
The problem is that prop supplied is for r/c electric; it's not scale so I need one that looks authentic for the time.GliderRider said:
From what I can see,the Phantom Runabout is a model 'in the style of' as opposed to a scale model of a specific boat. The design is reminicent of Chris-Crafts of the late 1920s. The Chris-Craft A-120 was a typical engine, and this boat, 'Uncas' so powered, has a clockwise rotation prop:
Spot on. And I can see the shape of the prop in the photo Gassing Station | Scale Models | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
