Building a WWII Airplane: Materials, Propellers & More

[ABHIdAVIATOR]

I'm planning to build myself a WWII time Airplane. i need some insght into the types of materials that can be used for it.
Specifically, I'm facing problem in finding a suitable covering material for the wings. i would require a light cloth or a plastic sheet, probably. I've used wood to make the spars. I'm using steel and aluminium pipes to construct the frame.
Also, i need to know the rough value of rpm of the propeller that i should have.
please help me out with this.
Suggestions welcomed. Thank u in anticipation.

Google should find you that. A google for "p51 rpm" yields this: http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/mustang/mustangtest.html

WWII aircraft were mostly metal, though, I think. The P51 was made of aluminum.

The Mosquito was a wood and fabric airplane. That's an exception though. Most were metal or mixtures of.
