I just got all the parts I think I'll need including a doner spitfire Vb and I even found an old article on how to do this conversion. Oh well I still plan on building this one.

This "new" product seems to be a gross copy (badly made) of an very old offer from "D B productions".
D B productions ceased business since long.
I have one sample on my desk, already glued to an Airfix's Defiant fuselage.
D B offered the nose section of the Defiant, suitable for the Airfix kit, along with the spinner (also in resin) and a correct propeller cast in white metal.

so if this is a bad copy is it still accurate, or by bad copy you mean in terms of the quality of the resin?

What I mean is that the piece in my hands is more accurate.
I'm not able to attach pictures to my mail, otherwise I'll send one very clear explaining everything at once.
If anyone will explain the way I can attach a picture, then he's welcome.
