Mmmmm....spinner spirals. Get it on as best you can and then keep applying your decal setting solution of choice until it settles down. It can take several goes and,in my case,is good for microsol sales!!

Forgot to say,if your aircraft was flying after August'44 it should have and probably did have a spiral. There were always exceptions.
Hi Steve just had a look at the instructions , your right mate the decals give two options :- Rhein-Main airfield Germany Spring 1945 and Belguim January 1st 1945 , both have the curly decals , what a laugh , never mind I`m game .
I`ve got a question lads , with the decal sheet it comes with swastika`s , on the instructions it does not show them ( political reasons I would imagine ) am I right in thinking that these would be on the tail of the aircraft.
100% definite that those aircraft had swastikas on the vertical fin. Of course whether you apply them or not is entirely up to you. I do,but some people are not comfortable with them and prefer to leave them off. I think either way is fine.
Steve
John has already said that he would not ban the use of the Swastika on this site, as Steve says, it is down to the individual. The GB certainly does not discriminate on any markings. Have to say I hadn't thought abut the spinner spiral.... anyone fancy making it a Spitfire instead
Here you go ,a spiral on an Fw190A-6,much skinnier than designated in the RLM order. Also one from a Bf109G-?. It might be roughly painted but they did prime for it (the reddish colour). Graham,if it goes wrong leave it off,there were always exceptions!
Steve
If you don't want to add the decal then try this paint the spinner white base coat then take Tamiya masking tape and cut a longish strip 2mm wide and wrap it round the spinner then spray black. Once you strip of the masking tape you should have your spiral on the spinner.
