For once, it is time to have a clipped wing Spit, regardless of arena balance, perked or unperked.

Is that a 5 bladed prop I see?  Would that be authentic?

On another note (speaking of 5-bladed props), what about the Hawker Fury, if we ever get the 1946 arena? :)

As those are Spitfire Mk XIVs the 5 bladed prop is entirely appropriate.  The nose of a Griffon Spitfire has a very distinctive look compared to a Merlin Spit's.  Those are definately Griffon Spits.

A Spitfire MK XVI would have a 4 bladded prop.
