They are fantastic but is the spinner on the Hurricane a little too blunt or rounded off at the tip?

Maybe not. There seems to be different ones but here's one that is very close. They range from very pointed to quite rounded.

Some early ones were quite round. I have always liked the Airfix 1/24 scale Hurricane, it has this type of spinner.

There where two type of spinners on the early Hurricane. The original spinner was produced by de Haviland and quite small and pointy. This is the spinner you will see on the IL2 in-game Hurricane Mk.I. Due to shortage, Rotol propellers/spinners originally designed for Spitfires where also used. These where large and blunt and actually a bit to large for the engine housing. The result was oil splashing on the windscreen. An oil-catcher ring was installed on all Hurricanes to counter it.

With the introduction of the Mk.IIb models, a new spinners was made. This new spinner was longer than either the old de Haviland or Rotor, and was made to fit the Hurricane properly. The oil-catcher ring was retained though. If you look at the Hurricane Mk.IIb or c in-game, you will see this new longer spinner and the oil-catcher. We don't have a Rotol spinner Hurricane in L2.

Here's a picture of some Sea Hurricanes. The one closest to the camera has a Rotol spinner, the others have the older pointy de Havilands.

Actually I have a Rotol in my Il-2; it depends which version of the game you are playing, if you get my drift

I know, I'm the one who made the default skins for that bunch. I should have picked my words more carefully.
