InPursuit,

The airscrew on the Mk I is a choice of the Watts FP or the DeH "bracket" prop. The rotol is not modelled visually or mechanically. You can see the difference between a Rotol and a DeH in the spinner in the shape. The DeH is pointed and the Rotol rounded.

The Spitfire (both Marques) are modelled at a specific date, the Spit I at around March 1940, at which point no Rotols were fitted.
