	Spitfire kits - Page 3 - Card Model Forums
		Zumbach had more than a one Spit (I think there were four of them), and it is easy to recognize them, because each of them had a different Donald Duck picture.
		Zumbach was one of the most successful Polish fighter pilots, and that's why he could have his personal aircrafts ("RF-D", D for Donald - he was called "Donald Duck"; later he had a Mustang "JZ" for Jan Zumbach).
		I think the last of the three Spitfires you've shown has a bad painting scheme - it is the same aircraft as the one on the colour photo you've attached earlier, and there we can see that the spinner, stripe and letters aren't white (compared with the definitely white circle in the roundel).
