Help me guys.

[Mr.Creak]

I'm after buying some 1/72 contraprop sets (probably quite a few to "update" a number of aircraft), but my mind's gone a complete blank on who's likely to sell these.
(I'll probably kick myself when you give me the firms' names, but that's life).
Thanks guys.

Aeroclub? Talk to John Aero over on Britmodeller, as the Aeroclub website isn't currently running AFAIK.

[Mr.Creak]

Yep, *kicks self*, that's the one.
Thanks.

You can make contraprop sets out of John's non-contras too. You'd have to make your own arrangements for spinners etc.

I used a set of his Beverley props on my Convair-Hawler Osprey and reversed the pitch of one set of blades just by gently and slowly twisting them by hand! It works a treat with the metal that John uses and those Bev props look great, big and square tipped too.

I've done the same with a set of the Sea Fury props Kit, for my 'In Service' De Havilland DH.101 Sabre Mosquito project

Aeroclub I think you'll find.  And the stock is - sadly - steadily diminishing.
