One of the few times I've seen a four bladed prop on a German fighter. They usually used three fatter blades, less to deal with on the gun synchronizers. Also, if that had made it into production, it would have been one of very few turbocharged fighters - the P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt being another two.
