Jacob's Fokker D.VII?

I picked up an Eduard 1/48 Fokker D.VII Weekend kit at the SVSM Christmas Gift Exchange/steal, and decided to build Lt. Joseph Jacobs black D.VII. Can anyone here tell me which prop to use for an early "Fokker" D.VII?
Just seems to me that an all black D.VII would look better than an all white D.VII. :p

TIA,
Greg

Axial.

Greg Lamb:
The common propeller on the Fok.D.VIIs/n 227/18 to 239/18 was the Axail 2780mm diameter. S/n D.240/18 to D.299/18 was the Wolff 2800 mm dia. Serial number D.300/18 to D.450/18 was the 2800 mm Dia. Axial. S/n D.451/18/18 to D.526/18, was the Axial 2780mm dia. Ltn. Josef Jacobs was D.VII 465/18, so it most likely had a a Heine Propeller.
Merry Christmas,

Minor correction to your typo Dan. Ltn J. Jacobs Fokker D.VII was 365/18. So that gives you a possible Axial prop.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks, Stephen. So, it should actually be an Axial prop, and not the Heine prop then? :unsure:

According to Dan's research on the subject Axial seems to be correct.
