phantom Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 How much more accurate are these props Than the kit parts? I am starting to get my am pieces for my build. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Cox Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The actual props on the B-24 were 11 feet 7 inches which scales to about 110.3 mm. in diameter. The Quickboost props with hubs are very close to that, with the hubs being slightly bigger than 10 mm in diameter and the blades being 50 mm. each, not including the stub at the base for mounting. I would say they are spot on. Wish now I wouldn't have bought 4 sets of HAD Corsair spinner and prop blades as replacements...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckD Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Looks like the engine set is retailing for $73. They look great, but it's a little rich for me based on how little of it will be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 It includes the cowl fronts. I have a set here, along with the Quickboost props, which I'll review when I get time. Iain Kagemusha and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engines look amazing and sharp as a razor, but considering they won't be that visible once in place, the price seems difficult to justify. The experience of other modellers may be different. It seems very likely that someone will produce a set at a much more competitive price. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Is there a cheaper ‘just what you see’ alternative to the Vector engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I don't think so as the Metallic details set is more comprehensive and only covering individual engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
