This is a resin 1/48 Hamilton Standard Cuffed 4-Blade Propeller from Ultracast that fit the Tamiya Merlin engined Mustang kits.  Each package contains four replacement propeller blades. These blades were made from measurements and photos taken from a Museum P-51D. The photo below shows a comparison of the Ultracast replacement blade on left and the Tamiya kit blade on right. The most noticeable differences are the cuff dimensions and the blade profile.

Clean up is very minimal and the seats 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. 

These parts fit Tamiya's P-51B Kit #61042, RAF Mustang III Kit #61047, P-51D Kit #61040, and F-51D Kit #61044.

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