When IS Tamiya going to make a cuffed Hamilton Standard prop for the P-51 that actually is a correct rendering of the shape of the blades. Their blades have the wrong profile and the base of the cuff is too far from the spinner.

This build is otherwise PERFECT, and the prop "situation" is definitely NOT the fault of the very skilled modeler who built it!

I never knew there was a shape issue

Well done! What manufacturer did you use for parts for the Marston Matt ?
