Still working on that prop, can't seem to get the way the blades connect to the hub to look nice.

I'd try and make the blades look sharper. It can be difficult as majority of the time they tend to look like a club and not very sharp. Here's a cool site that gives side views of different types of prop blade as below:



Although not the exact blade profile for your particular aircraft but it can give you an idea of how to shade them so as to create the razor sharp look. Some more images that might help:

The blades are ok, it is more the attachment point that is giving me headaches.

[Clint Mitchell]

Come on Super you can do better blades than that... As I said previously they don't look very sharp. Especially the bottom one.

I'm actually quite happy with these, their pretty much copied from a photograph of the original aircraft shape wise. If Hartzell makes ugly props I can't really take the blame for that :P

A new publication for my PC-7 artwork, in the RNLAF EMVO elementary flying school's 25th anniversary year book. The book features both a profile in the yellow and in the black paintscheme and is an in-house production of the RNLAF.
