The Zeke wreck is a treat
The Pacific Coast Models Spitfire IX give the curious impression that the prop/spinner is at an angle downwards - maybe just the camera position

Some real nice stuff Colin!

On further inspection
that's an unlikely Mk IX, 5-bladed prop, retractable tailwheel, cam cover fairings as for the Griffon-engined versions?

Definitely not a IX. Looks like a XIV.

Definitely not a IX. Looks like a XIV.

What do you think of the prop/spinner angle
or is it just me?

[rochie]

i think your right Colin it does look a very weird angle on that Spitfires spinner

[Crimea_River]

Looks that way to me too but it could be distortion from the lens.

[Wayne Little]

that spinner Don't quite look right to me....

[Gnomey]

Some good models there!

Some nice stuff there Colin, I liked the Albatross. The Spit is a MkXIV, and as PCM don't yet do one, AFAIK, the modeller has either cross-kitted with the Revell (Matchbox) kit, as I did, or used a conversion kit. And the prop definitely looks to be pointing too far down from the thrust line, which I don't think is the effect of wide-angle lens distortion.
