Does anyone have a better image of this spitfire's propeller marking? I want to make a decal.

Kevin,
regarding the decal on the Spitfire prop. I think it is a post war thing.

I found the one you have but it is no clearer than what you have. The red writing was still blurred.

I found about 3 more that were different. It seemed to me to be confined to 4 blade props.

I know this doesn't help but for what it is worth.

yes, I made the decals but not as nice as I hoped. Hard to cut out something that small too!
