Freightdog Models has released an excellent looking resin five bladed prop for the Griffon powered 1/72 Spits produced by AZ models. Also included is a replacement upper cowl.
This set comprises a replacement five bladed Griffon Spitfire prop and replacement upper cowling, designed for use with the AZ Model Spitfire Mk.XIV or Mk.XVIIIe kits. Can also be used with other Griffon powered Spitfire kits, but it may need modifying.

It has to be one of the best looking prop units that ever graced an aircraft in my humble opinion. Nice one Freightdog.

Price: £3.50 from Freightdog

Definitely agree about the Griffon Spit five blade Rotol prop being the best looking airscrew ever! A sublime sculpture, in fact. The Freightdog prop appears to be good value, especially since the top engine cover is included. That said, from the photo the blades don't seem to have nearly enough twist – compare them to the Quickboost QB72164 item , which appear more finessed, with separate blades and including a jig for joining the blades to the spinner. OTOH, Quickboost doesn't include the engine cowling and is a bit more expensive. Horses for courses… /Joachim
