So for a current project thats still in the planning stage i'm missing one key component...an engine for it! looking for either a prop or jet engine like item. Would go for the valkyrie engines but their too big and at £5 each thats more than the rest of the project atm!
So does anyone know of a site with prop or jet engines for sale?

Not sure of the bit price or how to get them, but would the jump pack thrusters from the Forge World Pre-Heresy Marines work?

If you are looking for real world things, you could check out Verlindin or Eduard, they make scale highly detailed parts and engines. Could be worth checking out.

I have a load of random bits in my bits box I can check if I have anything that will fit the bill if you like?

I second Foster, my bitzfu is strong, give me a more specific idea of what you want and I will see what I can manage.

Nar FW stuff is far too expensive to convert for this and there too small. Verlindins expensive and doesn't have anything. Eduard has stuff but that costs £25 for two >.<

I'm looking for a jet or prop engine, T-34 is a medium tank. yes their kits are very detailed but their entire kits, rather have just the engines.
I think I saw a webstore that sold terrain parts and had a fan blade but cant find it again, anyone seen anything like that? could use it to scratch build the engines. shocking how few places seem to sell parts to make an engine for a model! ~_~

Sorry Vegna, I had a look in my bits box and I have nothing that could help you. I have some laptop fans but I doubt they are any use to you.

I have been doing a similar project, and if you don't mind I can share photographs and their experiences. I'm doing the Interior fittings for the Leman Russ  |

cheers ASN! zinge industries seems to be great to make a scratch engine and some extra details to add to it.
