Prop pitch look as if it is a little flat - but I'm sure the direction of rotation is correct for a Griffon powered Spitfire.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Merlin engined Spitfires have props that run clockwise looking from the cockpit. Griffon engined ones go the other way, much to the chagrin of pilots switching from one to the other in quick succession.....
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
