thats too small plus modern carriers have 6 bladed screws but if the enterprise kit still has two of the screws still there you can make a mold and cast 2 new propellers

I've got some props from a 1/700 cvn70 Carl Vinson, if that's any good for you I can mail them to you.

On the bench : Revell's 1/125 RV Calypso

It's 1/600 scale...you could use some screws from a 1/400 cruiser, or 1/350 destroyer.

You'll need 4-bladed screws.

I am building an old  aurora model for a friend, who wants it for his father. It is a kit in the original box, but the box was in poor condition, and some of the small parts had fallen out. 2 prop shafts & props are missing. I can scratchbuild the shafts, but don't know what to do for the props. Anybody have any small ship props left from a waterline build. This model doesn't have to be accurate as much as presentable. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks
