Re: Arghh!

And when you own your own Spitfire you can paint it in an authentic finish.

Incidentally at least one Spitfire and one Seafire were stripped to a bare metal finish during the war. Not sure about the Spitfire but the Seafire was with the 21st Aircraft Carrier Squadron, I think on HMS Hunter, and can be seen in photos of the ship entering Singapore.
