Don't think so BB, but then, a conta-propped Spit didn't go into full production. The one that's on the air show circuit uses a Griffon engine and prop direct from a Shackleton, and is more of a hybrid.

BB, I have a 'scale Aviation modeller' magazine article (Vol.7 Iss.6, june 2001), where Bill Clark made a Spitfire F.21 with contra-rotating prop in 1:48 scale.
He combined the Aeroclub F.21 conversion kit fueslage (the one designed for the Airfix Mk.22/24 kit - they make two conversion sets for the F.21), with the wings and contra-rotating prop from the Airfix Seafire Mk.46/47.

If you want a copy of that article, drop us your address in a PM!

Evan

No worries Chris! Although Bill Clark mentioned how due to the good quality of the Aeroclub conversion parts it went together without a problem, so it might not be as hard as you think!

I hope so too ,Just wanted a Beau in that scheme

I've read though some other company have just released an MK.X so I'm assuming those molds maybe better ...maybe a good thing this guy doesn't want to complete the trade!
