There is a pdf here

Note, the thrust line is wrong,  not by much, but it then makes the spinner too big.

@John Aero used to have photos posted of correcting this, its easy enough, sand a thin triangle off the cowling top, the taking about 1mm off the front and tapering this to back of the engine panel.

 

the new tool Airfix Vb has two spinners and props,  if you hold a correct size spinner onto the nose, lining up the spinner with lowest point of the nose ring, and them shape the top edge of the nose ring to match the spinner.

Johns photo was really clear about showing what to to,  apart from the raied panel lines and the nose issue it a very well shaped model.
