is there an aftermarket replacement for the Revell Mosquito's spinner? (1/48)

It might be an expensive way to go, but, I've read that Mossie spinners (good ones) are correct replacements for Firefly 1 spinners. There are resin Firefly spinners that should work ...

AFAIK, no.

Some people have reshaped the kit spinners,  or ask about for someone who has done a Mosquito with 4 blade props (eg Swedish XIX, Sea Mosquito) and ask for the spares.

Given the likely 'now very expensive outside of Canada' Ultracast suggestion,  you might want too look for a cheap 1/48th Airfix kit,  or a scrap one,   as this will give you the spinners, and the right size wheels and UC legs, and the bits to extend the Revell wing radiators.

I think the elevators are not the best either.   

I don't know how easy/cheap the Airfix kit would be to get in Austria,   or if you can ask for spinners there if you in a model club. 

see here, note the links for more on the subject

Thank you very much, so the search is on for a cheap Airfix kit (tossed mine years ago, alas!)

But what about Monogram Mosquito spinners?
