| Rotol propeller units (or airscrews to use the WWII term) were fitted to some Mk I Spitfires and most Mk IIs. With their rounded spinners and broad propellers they gave a distinctive powerful look to the Spitfire. Up until now these types have rarely been seen in kit form, but modellers now have the opportunity to convert any mainstream 1:72 Spitfire I or V kit to a Rotol Mk I or II Spitfire with our conversion kit.
The kit has parts for the spinner, propeller and coffman starter bulge, together with an early mark control column and seat. Included are adaptors for Airfix and Tamiya kits. To complete the package there are high quality decals for four aircraft
