achei esse artigo sobre o Spit PR MK IG aqui e pela foto a hélice parece DH
The bare-metal Spitfire Mk. Ia R7143 was one of just a few Spitfires to serve in Canada during the war. It had the oblique camera port indicating the photo-reconaissance role, but due to the many conversions during its life it was something of a hybrid rather than “pure” Spitfire mark. Here’s its story.
R7143 was built in February 1941 as eight-gun Spitfire Mk. I with Merlin III engine. Serving with No. 1416 Flight at Benson, it was converted to Mk. PR Mk. IV in April, 1941, receiving a Merlin 45 engine and gunless PR wing. Five months later, it was sent to Rolls-Royce where it was converted again to the “pure” fighter Mk. Va. Returning to Benson, it served with No. 140 Squadron.
In this new role the aircraft lasted until about the end of the year 1941. In early 1942, it was again converted to a Mk. PR VII type G.
This designation denotes the low-level, short-range armed reconaissance conversion initially known as the PR Type G, then redesignated to PR Mk. IG, and finally to PR Mk. VII type G.

Pelo que vi, o Spit rosa é o R 7059.
Uma foto do avião representado pelo kit, o rosa :
Spitfire PR Mark VII (Mark I PR Type G), R7059, of 'B' Flight, No. 1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit Detachment at St Eval, Cornwall, in flight over a calm sea with Pilot Officer J T Morgan at the controls. R7059 was converted from a Mark I fighter by Heston Aircraft Ltd in February 1941, retaining its armament of eight .303-inch machine-guns mounted in the wings for self-defence while operating in the low-altitude photo-reconnaissance role.
Quanto á hélice, a usada era a DH, tendo em vista que o R 7059 era uma conversão do MK I, com motor RR Merlin II e substituido por um RR Merlin 45.
Pelo que apurei, até a célula 77 era usada uma hélice bipá, de madeira, passo fixo ( acho que vem até no kit ) da célula 78 a 174, a hélice foi a DH e da 175 em diante. o motor tinha o eixo ´universal `que permitia o uso das hélices DH ou Rotol.
Espero ter ajudado
Boa montagem
