Contact Revell Customer Service on their website. They are pretty good about replacing lost or missing parts.

Thanks, I didn't know that

You would think there would be lots of them out there.  Maybe you should ask for a scrap kit instead!

The propellers were 11' 7" 3 bladed Hamilton Standard Hydromatics.  They had the paddle blades from the B-17F on.

As I stated before, I recently aquired a 1/48 scale B-17 and It was an open kit. So far, I've found 2 pieces missing. 1 was the front axle on the bomb cart. I managed to cobble up the axle for it. It doesn't look that great, But it's kind of hidden under the cart. It also looks like something that the ground crews would do to make it work.

The next missing peice is a propeller. I'm not that good at scratching, Even so,I wouldn't have any idea how to make the propeller (I only need one)

So, If any one would have one or the set, I would gladly pay you for them/it

If anyone has the specs for the props, I found one web site with 3 bladed props. but I don't know which ones to get.

Thanks

Ken
