Hi Guys,

I’m looking at the Valom 1/72 C-46 kit and wondering which one comes with a 3 bladed propeller?
I have only seen the 4 blade online in the instructions.

Does anyone make a 3 blade prop for the C-46? I am planning a Buffalo Airways C-FAVO C-46D.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
Andrew

Hello, I suppose their C-46D kit comes with 3-blade props or with both prop versions for a C-46A and D.

Look at Britmodeller, https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235090883-172-curtiss-c-46ad-commando-by-valom-released/page/2/ , the photo of the finished Buffalo C-46D shows 3-blade props.

I have almost finished the conversion of a William C-46 to a C-46R. Unfortunately I don’t know where I ordered the 3-blade props long time ago, and the packing is already gone.

Cheers

Horst

I got an email from Valom indicating all their C-46 kits come with 4 bladed propellers….

Anyone have a spare set of 3 bladed propellers from the Williams kit?

Thanks

I am affraid the Williams kit only hds four blade props. If you don’t get three bladed C-46 props, non C-46 props of almost similar seize may serve the purpose. As I wrote, unfortubately, I don’t remember where I ordered the props intended for my C-46.

Interesting.

On Scalemates the instructions for the William’s kit is showing 3 bladed propellers.

Thanks

Andrew,

I am pretty sure that the all editions of the Williams Bothers C-46 kit included both three & four blade props.

K/r,
