Title: Suppliers for 2mm M2 shafts and 10mm props ??
Post by: DavieTait on April 12, 2009, 08:13:37 pm

Does anyone know where I can get 2mm M2 shafts ( need 6''/150mm long ) and matching LH/RH 10mm M2 plastic props.

I need a few sets for 1/350th scale model warships I've got waiting to built

Propshop used to do 10 and 12mm M2 threaded props but I've not had any reply to 4 Emails asking about them and their website has been down since mid 2008 so I don't know if they're trading any more which is why I asked. The smallest prop on the Cornwall site is 20mm which I might manage with ( to heck with "scale" might have to angle the props to get clearance I'll cross that bridge when I get to it I guess !! )

Thanks for the info I'll have a good look at it tomorrow

Propshop is certainly still in business but since selling out to Swan his prices have doubled.
