This new resin set from Cutting Edge Modelworks includes one complete 1/24 Spitfire Mk.V Rotol prop and spinner for the Trumpeter kit.  

This resin set is quite straight forward.  It includes one prop cone and 3 prop blades.  Also included is a cup with a predrilled hole.  You place the prop cone inside this cup and use the predrilled hole in the resin cup to drill the hole in the resin prop cone.  This jig will ensure the hole for your prop cone is dead centre.

The prop cone is very well done and includes holes for the prop blades.  The angle of the rotation angle of the prop blades will have to be determined by the modeller as the blades can be attached at any "angle of attack".   

The blades are very thin and beautifully cast.

This is a very well done resin prop and is sure to be popular with people building the 1/24 Trumpeter Spitfire.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
