I'm looking for a couple of 1/72nd Skyraider props. Monogram if possible but not picky. I'm in the Chicago area, USA so overseas postage would be probably expensive. No rush either.

A possible solution to your Skyraider propeller issue might be to consider the propellers from one of the many F4U Corsair kits as that propeller (even though it has a spinner/hub) is roughly the same diameter as the propeller used on the Skyraider. Another possible donor kit might be a 1/72nd scale B-29, C-97, B-50 (the Academy kits). While that propeller is a bit larger in diameter, you can trim it down to the size you need.

Sounds like a great idea. I’ll look into that. It’s going to be a whiff of course something creative will be required anyway.
I do have some C-130 props so that would be different!
Thanks

Always happy to recommend.
The C-130 propellers might be just the ticket since they have a nice prop boss/spinner which always makes things like they will go faster or so I hear. The three-blade Curtiss Electric propeller from the early C-130A/AC-130A would be an excellent choice if you have those available.
Another possible candidate for propeller sourcing is the C-119/AC-119 (Italeri/Testors') kit.

And, the Academy kits won't go to waste. IIRC, they come with Hamilton Standard and Curtiss props.

Kerick, I don't want to get your hopes up, but I think I have some Aeroclub replacement Skyraider props. Let me dig around in the stash ---

I might a few have that I can part with as well.
Let me know if you need more than the 100's you have already been offered. ;)

Yep! found two Aeroclub Skyraider props --- PM me a snail mail addy and you can have them for the postage cost.
