As the tinlid says, I am looking for 1/72 Bristol Hercules radial engines, cowlings and props.  I am willing to pay for postage to downunder.

Ozmods has a set Brian albeit for the Bristol Freighter or similar applications.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Unfortunately those are for Centaurus engines.  Thanks, anyway.

Actually not Brian, the Freighter was powered by Hercules engines, the 734 of nearly 2000 hp

Interesting.  You're right.  However, OzMods sells them as Centaurus engines on their webpage.  I'll consider them but I suspect they are too large for what I want.

Ended up buying the High Plains Hercules Engine replacements for the old Airfix Beaufighter kit.  Not to be used on a Beaufighter model, mind you.  ;)
