Re: Soviet Spitfire
Photographs I have seen show Soviet Spitfires to have retained the RAF camouflage of Dark Green and Ocean Grey uppersurfaces, in the standard pattern. RAF roundels were overpainted using Soviet colours, with red stars underwing and on the tail and/or fuselage. The Sky fuselage band and spinner were also retained, but this could easily have differed between individuals.
The PR Spitfires retained their PRU Blue overall scheme.
I vaguely recall one coded 01 - was this the Mk.Vb used for catapult trials postwar?
