Still think it needs a contra prop.

Looks great, but I agree with Lee - contra prop.

The only ones I have are either Shackleton ones or a very large dia. thin bladed resin that Chris donated.
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

No Spit kits in the loft with contraprops?
Special Hobby Mk 24 and Mk 47 Seafire both include regular and contra props.
Lee says they are inaccurate, so you'd surely only want to whiff it anyway, if you had an example...

Amazingly not, I must have purloined them for other purposes, and I have over NINETY Spitfire kits of various Marks and manufacturers and ages up there too!  :o  :o

How far is the Shackleton prop from fitting?
In the Real World, Shackleton props (modified???) have been used on P-51 based air racers with Griffon engines.

I'd have to find them first. I've got two Shackleton kits somewhere, but goodness knows where. :(

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Agree with Lee. It does need contraprops.

That aside - it's simply great!  :wub:

As it was an engine test-bed, I'm assuming that this is the original prop fitted before extensive trials showed that a contra-prop was required and was fitted later (Kit's second law applies)  Our Scandinavian gentleman is as usual quite correct.................It's simply great!

EXACTLY!  ;D

The backstory mentions the awful torque problems anyway.
