Ronos Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hi all, I have just acquired a Escale Seafire and have been looking for a spare spinner. The one that is on is a aluminium backed spinner with a plastic spinner. It measures, dia 94mm or 311/16" . I have looked about on the internet,but nothing this size. Can someone point in the right direction. It's powered by a SC 120 FS 4 stroke Glow, and has a 15x8 2 blade prop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Wills 2 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 My Escale Seafire came with the red plastic ally backed spinner, it's a good spinner. Bolted to the front of a 91 Surpass with a 14x8 2 blade. No idea however where Seagull source it from.

Brian Neasham Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 This is the spinner fitted to your Seafire, don't ask how I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronos Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thanks Brian, mine measures 94mm that's 89mm, I suppose its only 5mm but the 94mm looks nice with the cowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Neasham Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 If you bought this model from a guy called Darren I can assure you its the Irvine spinner as I assembled it for him and I replaced the standard spinner with the Irvine one, come to think of it I may still have the original in my spares drawer!

Ronos Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I managed to track a couple down at Wheelspin models. Like you said, plastic backed, perfect fit, for the Seagull Spitfire. Looking good on the Seafire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
