Hey Chris good to see you here again. PM Jeff Fontaine . We were just talking to a fellow in Seattle about that a couple o weeks ago. He knows of a source that does at least the blades in resin

I would be interested in some Herc props too, as I have a few things that need turbo propping.
Cheers,
Chris

Desmojen on BritModeller was producing and selling a set of four resin C-130 (eight* S I X -bladed) propellers with spinners.  The cost with postage to the US/Canada was acceptable at the time that I purchased my set (~ $25.00 including the postage).  

I enlisted the assistance of a friend of mine in the UK to make the purchase for me and I reimbursed him with US$ since he was going to be traveling to the US on business at a later date.  

Perhaps you can do the same with one of our UK WHIF members?

They are actually six-bladed props Jeffry, got a set of them and very nice they are too.  The eight blade prop is on the E-2C/D.

In 1/72 you can get the three blade C-130A prop and the regular four blade C-130(other designations) from Aeroclub but you have to go on Britmodeler forum and PM John Adams who goes by the user ID of John Aero.  He has stated that he will do business if you contact him through the forum.

Yes, they are indeed six-bladed propellers.  I completely missed the numerical error since I have eight-bladed propeller fever at the moment.
