Let F be a complete discretely valued field with ring of integers O and residue field of characteristic p>2. Let G=GO2n denote the split orthogonal similitude group over F. For any parahoric level structure, we prove that the associated spin local model for G is a flat O-scheme with reduced special fiber, provided either p is sufficiently large or n≤ 4. This partially confirms a conjecture of Pappas and Rapoport. As a corollary, we obtain a flat (integral) moduli space of PEL-type D under the same assumptions.
