Hi All,
Does anyone know a source for 1/72 props?
Getting ready to start on a Glencoe Subchaser and need to pick up several props.
Got the kit for next to nothing "as is" at a contest last week and all that was missing was the props.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi gary, welcome to ModelShipWrights!

Your best bet is to search the usual cast of online sources (GreatModels, Squadron, etc).
The Glencoe is actually 1/74 but I doubt anyone will note the difference.

Couple web sites that may be of interest:

Building the 1/74 Glencoe WWI Subchaser

Glencoe Chaser Model - Original Release

Building a Model Subchaser

Keep us posted in your progress, cheers!

Hi James
Thanks for the links.
I've decided that my best bet for now is to scratch them from thin brass using the kit prop as a guide.
Haven't had any luck finding after market replacements.
Thanks for the links though. They help.
