As I couldn't see any manufacturer labels on these props
We thought about it for a long time and decided not to make decal labels for our propellers because the WnW kits have their own great labels and we do not want to increace the price of our product adding a useless decal

The WNW kits might have the decal, Roden kits and scratchbuilds don't

Can you offer a sheet of propeller decals as well? I couldn't find one when I wanted one for my Nieuport or Sopwith

We are sorry but we can't. We will work on this opportunity in the future

Richard, LW models offer at least labels for German and British props, so your could use them for your Sopwith - sadly there are no Levasseur Label decals out there which is a pity. I once used German Integral decals for French integral props.

That threw me for a while - LF models: https://www.lfmodels.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_31_65&zenid=ueorfcnij8ud4dorhu3ps6lq42

Thank you, that's new information for me

It's good here, isn't it!

This #Sopwith #Pup propeller was manufactured by Frederick Sage & Co. Ltd during the First World War. Frederick Sage was a shop fitting company that turned to aircraft production to help with the war effort.

This is a Proper Plane wooden propeller prototype in 1/32 scale for WnW Sopwith Pup kit. It was made using the kit detail with some amendments according the photos of real propeller. It will be available with 3D modeled resin hub.

That is doubtless a wonderful prop and a piece of really impressing craftmanship.

A new limited-edition Proper Plane propeller Sage for Sopwith Pup is available for order. It has a "pressed boss" that needs very precise processing to do it perfectly.
