Actually, the P-51D used a 4-blade prop.

I had considered building a propellor, but decided that after I had done a
couple, I didn't like the way they looked.  The 3 blade propellor is • actually
inaccurate.  The real P-51 has a 2 blade propellor, and it's much larger • than
the one shown, but building one just didn't look right.  If I don't get my
hands on a second large prop, I will likely build props for the P-38 • project.
(that is, if I actually do the P-38 project...)

(...) Upon further review, it seems that I was completely wrong. The P-51A and B had 3 blade props, and the D and above had 4 blade props. Yeesh. And I call myself an aviation buff? Adrian (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)
