Any 5" spinner that's not pointy will look OK. The Tru-Turn Spitfire cut looks actually pretty close. I think they only make it in 5 1/2" though. My best scale one is 5 1/4, but I think 5 1/2...

I have a 15" pilot in mine, and it's still a bit small for scale. He looks good in the cockpit, but he's sure not 1/4 scale.
