Guys, unfortunately a four bladed prop as per the MK9 would look fabulous on the ground, but frankly be useless in the air. I run a 20 x 10 on my YT Mk14 spit and I'd rather have the grunt up there where it counts than looking good parked on the ground. Spoke to loads of pilots that tried the four bladed and all went back to 2. Shame, but can't be helped. Beautiful plane tho.

needs at the very least a 3 blade prop even though you won't notice during flight

The only thing that needs is the correct prop, and an ARTUS v12.

This is a work of art ruined by a non-scale propeller. Sorry to say that, and I'm not trying to dump on your work because I think it is 99.99% incredible, but all that effort into the scale appearance of the model and you put a two bladed prop on a Mk IX Spitfire which almost always had a 4 bladed propeller. I know all the arguments about prop efficiency, but come on, a plane this size with that engine doesn't need to worry about it. Apart from that, it is beautiful and I want one :)

Fantastic model John im overwhelmed by its sheer scale and correctness i have built the deagostini Spitfire but still need to make 3 important improvements to ailerons nose and wheels i have taken a year to build it and cant wait to see it fly i will look out for your finishing touches and of course its maiden flight

For all the weathering that I often see on such models, I find it amusing that there is never a dent to be found anywhere. You also never see any skin distortion caused by rivets nor is there ever any wrinkling of buckling of the metal skin as a result of wear and tear. The look is almost as if all the detailing had been applied to a carved log rather than giving the impression that this is representative of an object that was originally fabricated from sheet metal. A scale 2 blade prop??? :P
