Title: Turning props?
Post by: Pen-Pusher on February 15, 2017, 10:40:16 AM

Seeing one of our esteemed members taking the trouble to have simulated 'turning props' at the last meeting, prompted me to add this for reference...

I think this was a 'one-off' from Frog...?

aaaaah........
I had one of these, many years ago.
Memories are made of this...............................
If I remember the clear rotating prop was a little thick moulding wise.
Cheers,

I think it varied but the 'boss' is certainly too large.

If you go to Scale Model World at Telford, buy a base for £100 and add the motors and the computer does the rest, talk to John, of John and Janice fame. Last year the guy had a Lancaster running - very impressive.

The sound effects were very realistic as well.

Who made the whiskey in the Dimple bottle? I remember in my youth acquiring 2 bottles of the stuff, it was quite old when I got it and it was like nectar!!! Needless to say it didn't last long!! Me and a friend polished a bottle off in one night. I wish I had kept hold of them because they would be worth a bob or two now I'm sure.
