The prop on the first series of girl class tugs was 4 bladed and 6ft 6inches Dia from that you should be able to scale your prop to your model  i.e  at 1/32nd it will be nearly 2.5 inches dia and at 1/48th scale 1.625"or  one and five eigths. and if you are going for 1/24th it will be 3and1/4"  hope this helps  Geo.
