Why do these guys don't get the attention they deserve?

Eric Fujii on e-bay finally got a nose for the XP-51J and canopy for the G and F.

I am going to use my Classic Airframes 1/48 scale P-51H as a starting point.

Do you guys thing I can use a Griffon 5 blade prop for the G?

How about the three blade prop for the F? Suggestions?

If the XP-51G used a Griffon engine, then yes you can use that prop.  If it had a Merlin (or Allison, or pretty much any other engine), then no.  The Griffon turned the opposite direction from the Merlin, so it used a left-hand prop.  Merlins and most other engines used right-handed props.
