Bigger spinner needed. With most all of the model spinners out there being Mustang contours, this choice pictured is most puzzling.

     Thanks Ty,
                  I got the plans. In fact, I have two. The other plans are Don Hutchinson's P-51H. I'm going to do both as soon as I make some more building room .  I may do the "B" like the one Godfrey flew, if I can find some pics.

Ty, we've had very good success with the RSM 11/6 prop on ST 46 engines. It is slightly under-cambered, and the ST seems to like it!  Send me your address, I'll send you one of the props...happy to help!
