The Aermotor blades certainly look better than what ever the hell it is that someone at one time put on mine.
I wonder if there is a enough of a market to justify getting a original replica batch of these made up ?

I was thinking 3D printing in red would be a great idea, no need for paint. Would be simple for someone that knows what they’re doing and I would imagine through forums, facebook and ebay they could sell between a dozen to 2 dozen. A friend recently made these extensions for the ERTL Case model and sells them for $85/pair (that’s where I got the idea)

I think that is a good idea Nick (my Son has a 3d printer) I just wonder if most collectors would want a metal one exactly like the original . the guy that made my replica Empire swing seats could most likely make me up a few dozen of these as well , I just need a good original piece to copy.
