Propellers for Plastic Model Conversions

Greetings. I have viewed many ships on Rosenfans--your collective 'claim to fame' is the plastic model conversion to R/C (radio control). With that in mind, what is the most popular option for propellers when a Rosenfan member is building a model conversion--do you prefer the kit propellers or an 'aftermarket' propeller in durable/flexible plastic or brass? ? ? For long term use, the plastic props in the kit may fail prematurely from breakage, accidental handling or may hit an underwater obstruction and break a blade, and so forth, so a metal propeller would seem very desirable.

Also: if aftermarket or from an independent seller, from whom or where do you obtain these propellers?

Thanks. :victory:

We can buy different sizes and various types of brass propellers from the model shops in main land China or England.

What shop do you use the most? I thought you might recommend a few model shops on the main land or in HK or more precisely in Taobao. Would you recommend this one:

Found some propellers there (1:350 set for Iowa class) among other items.

Tomtso: That is good news. That is the only shop with model ship fittings I have yet found on Taobao.

二分七: Thank you for the G-Factor review on Baidu. I did not know the props come attached to a sprue (or tree). :o Do you know diameter of G-Factor Nagato props and the size of the bore/hole?

bore：12mm
hole：1.5mm

That looks like a good shop; Yao Yao Harbor. Good PE for 1/200 scale--railings and ladders. :victory: Want to see more propellers and rudders there too. Thanks for the information, Tomtso.

Any other shops on Taobao?

Also: I did purchase the 1:350 Iowa propellers and a pair of 2MM x 2MM spring shaft couplers. Good product, fast shipping and fair price.
