Me-163 Komet (S/N VF241) + Spitfire Mk.IX (S/N EN498)
 
Hallo.I`m modeller of planes from WWII which had RAF markings. So not onlz british planes but american and german too.
I search for informations about this two planes.i searched all google, speak with everybody in Czech Republic, but I don`t have answers for all my questions.

So about Komet I search this:
-Colour/colours of upper surfaces of wings - somewhere is wrtitten that it was in german colours, somewhere that it was unicolour, but what colour?
-color of vertical tail - green or brown?

About Spitfire I`m searching folowing:
-type of RAF cocards
-code letters
-variant of Mk.IX - C or E??
-camouflage

What I know?
about komet:it flew like glider in 1946. It had british cocards, training yellow under surfaces,it flew without rocket motor.
about spitfire:S/N EN498, Spitfire Mk.IX, year of production is 1943, motor Merlin 61, it was used by glider tub for Komet.

Thank you for your help
