Eagles P-51B bent blades- help

I recently acquired an Eagles P-51B Tex Hill. My first Eagles P-51- absolutely stunning detail. Unfortunately it appears all four prop blades are bent back toward the fuselage slightly - not perpendicular to the fuselage. Very strange since they're all bent the same amount.

Any suggestions?

I've read the thread of how to remove the prop, but do I dare try straightening them? If all else fails, can I order a new prop assembly from Eagles?

The model was acquired new from a private party who was selling some extra Eagles he had for a good price. I really don't want to get him involved since he's done me some favors.

Thanks in advance!

Doesn't look like this

The prop blades are metal, so they can be straightened by slightly bending them in the direction needed.. Just not too much or you'll break them off..
