Often it all depends on the engine. More powerful engine, more blades.

Here is a Tante Ju with two blade props.

Superb! Only thing; I thought the Ju52 had three-bladed props. Other
than
that, it's an excellent model.




Most of the JU52/3M were built with either BMW or Pratt & Whittney engines.
The BMW version has originally two blade props and the P&W version has 3
blade props.
The P&W engines are providing more power, therefore, as mentioned above the
need for 3 blade probs.
But the sound is not the same....:-)
