To any and all in the know:
I remember years age in FSM classifieds of a company offering clear thin plexiglass prop discs to put on an airplane model to simulate the prop spinning in flight, etc.
Where can one find these again, or do I need to scratch build them using circular templates scribing onto thin plexiglass sheets, etc?
Sincerely,
Chris Clark
Try thin packaging plastic. It is ultra clear and found everywhere! Due clean if you decide to spray prop blur or yellow on the tips.
Also go to propblur.com They have etched metal props that look really real. If you do try the clear plastic method, try mounting it to a Dremel and while it’s spinning sand and lightly paint the disk. You can easily remove excess paint and experiment with pencils. If it gets to worn out you can make another disk and start again. Also think about reducing the diameter of a disk a little; it will help make your plane NOT look dominated by a big plastic disk. Good luck
There was also an article in FSM several years ago about how to make quite convincing prop discs from clear plastic. Not hard at all.
