I remixed some Spitfire files from two other users to make a Spitfire windvane to go on top of our flagpole. It's also scaled down.
The propeller prioritizes printability at this scale over historical accuracy (but there's 3.6mm hex holes on the hub for whatever prop blade you might prefer!).
I've also included the mounting "key" so you can mount yours wherever you like.

Update....
I don't know what happened, I somehow got the screw lands a mm or two off and it doesn't match a standard M4 screw (I'll have to trim a longer one down, ARGH!). Also the blender file fought me and won on the front shaft hole. I've uploaded the blender file for anyone to try to fix it up.
The cockpit fits well though! Propeller spins well in wind when mounted on shaft nail (16Ga), but it's proving tricky to mount securely on the plane while allowing it to spin freely..... Still looks good!
