Questions re: MDC's 1/32 Spitfire I spinner for the Revell kit

[Procopius]

Has anyone had any experience with the MDC Spitfire I spinner for the recentish Revell Spitfire IIa 1.32 kit? I read somewhere that one person found it a trifle too small for the spinner hub, and I was hoping that was an isolated incident, but I thought it would be more fun to find out before buying it. Any information you have is most appreciated!

Hi there, I confess it was me, I bought that kit for my build but it was too small for the Revell back plate, It could have been adapted with some work but i wasn't going there,

Here is the build https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/66520-last-build-for-2016-a-bit-late/&page=1

To save time wading through it this is what I wrote at the time.

The MDC resin parts arrived and very nice they looked too, however the spinner was too small for the kit backplate, I had ordered the complete Mk.I correction set as it said it was for the Revell kit, but I have a feeling that it is meant for the Revell reboxing of the Hasegawa Mk.I/II kit which utilised their old Mk.Vb fuselage with new wings ( Revell kit 04715). The resin correction kit will not go to waste as I have one of those kits in the stash.

The replacement prop and spinner that I wanted was from Eagle Parts but there was and still is a lack of stock of them.

By now there may be other resin props available.
