Hi there .The Hurricane Mk I had 2 types of Spinner/Props,namely De Havilland,or Rotol.
The Airfix Hurri I comes with just the Rotol Propo-job
Does ANYONE do a resin/White-Metal De Havilland Spinner/Prop,in 1/72 ??
Cheers,Baz

Give me your Rotol prop and I'll swap you a DH jobbie from an Airfix Spitfire I. It should fit OK.

Thanks Paul,that's very kind,of Ya !! :clap: :thumbsup:
But.....
Did you Know?? :hmm:
That the D.H Spinner,on the Hurricane,was SIMILAR,but....Straighter-Pointed,as opposed to the Spitty's Spinner-curvature.
(the Rotol-Kit was identical,on Hurri I,& Spitty II)
Mind you i COULD get away with it as it won't be a "competition standard" model,so,OKAY i'll happily do the swap,thanks.(i've done it before....)
Cheers,Bazza.

The spinner with the Airfix Spitfire is the smaller, less bulbous version and I always understood it to be a straight swap 'twixt Airfix Spitfire/Hurricane as an alternative for both types. If there is any difference you should be able to fix it with a quick bit of file work.
