Default Help selecting a prop?

I'm preparing to use an FPE 3.2 gasser in my Dauntless. While the fullscale SBD actually flew with a 3-blade prop, for now, I plan to fly with a 2-blade and maybe have a 3-blade static prop for display. The fullscale plane used a black prop with yellow tips, so I'd like to at least have my 2-blade do the same. Any ideas on how I can do this? I'm assuming I could use a wood prop and paint it but not sure what the best prop brand/type is for this, and the proper technique.

The manufacturer recommends a 21 x 10 Mejzlik, Menz S or GRS Carbon Fiber prop for this engine, but they're carbon fiber and/or sport-3D style props. I'd like to find one that looks a little more scale. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom
