The prop shown is kinda crude, wouldn't you say? But if it is the only game in town, I guess you gotta go with it. If you do use it, I would suggest filing down the trailing edges of the blades to make them sharper and add a little hub detail, too.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Matt Stein makes a 1:200-ish scale prop for the 1:200-ish Skipjack

Skipjack prop
Posted by RedCorvette on Thursday, April 1, 2010 10:01 AM

Normally not a submarine modeler, but I am finishing up an old Monogram/Revell Skipjack and would like to replace the three-bladed "butter paddle" prop that comes in the kit,

Any ideas or suggestions of where I could get something a bit more realistic?

Thanks,

Mark
