Notice the correct taper and end shape on the Ultracast prop to the right.  The Tamiya blade's taper is actually reversed!  Tamiya also mistakenly refers to this propeller as the Aeroproducts propeller.

Clean up is very minimal and the parts come attached to the casting blocks with very easy to manage connection points and removal is easily done with no loss of detail.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless. 

Contents of kit shown above.

This prop has very thin blades and the prop spinner has finely engraved panel lines and will give you the ability to add an accurate Hamilton Standard Cuffless 4-Blade Propeller & Spinner to your P-51D.

You can buy this and many other detail items directly from Ultracast.
